How Much Does Herniated disc surgery Cost in Istanbul?

Herniated disc surgery in Istanbul typically costs from $3,500 to $6,500. The final price depends on the surgical technique, the number of spinal levels treated, and the clinic's tier. Patients save around 85% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $42,500 on average. Most Istanbul packages include the operation, pre-surgical tests, hospital stay, local transfers, and language assistance.

  • Microdiscectomy: $3,500 to $6,500 for the standard microsurgical approach.
  • Open midline decompression: $7,800 to $14,800 for procedures requiring ligament reconstruction.
  • Robotic-assisted surgery: Typically adds 20-30% to the base cost when using navigation systems.
  • Endoscopic discectomy: Often carries a premium over standard surgery due to specialized camera equipment.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul serves as Turkey's primary neurosurgical hub, holding more specialized spinal centers than Antalya or other regional cities. This concentration of expertise allows for highly competitive all-inclusive pricing. For example, Anadolu Medical Center is affiliated with Johns Hopkins Hospital, providing top-tier academic expertise. Meanwhile, Memorial Şişli Hospital was the first JCI-accredited facility in Turkey, offering established safety protocols for international patients.

My cost of surgery increased A lot but it was because the surgeon had to do more more procedures than originally thought. Dr. Kapici I’d truly my blessed Angel on earth. Did a fantastic job!
