"Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level
Hello, my name is Vladislav Ivanov, Ukraine, Odessa city. In February 2021, my daughter Vlada was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, we went to the doctors for a week trying to find out why the child started having severe headaches. They went through examinations, did an MRI, and as a fact, they found a brain tumor. That's when the ground slipped from under my feet. Realization has come - this has already happened, which means you need to quickly take action. The first thing we did was go to the children's hospital in Kyiv, the child was given a shunt. But unfortunately, fluid began to collect in my head and my vision began to fall sharply. The doctors explained that an operation was urgently needed. We did not have a large accumulated amount, and we decided to complete the operation abroad. We contacted Bookmed. We contacted the employee Marina. Marina quickly found a clinic for us in Turkey, organized a trip for us, flew to Turkey in a matter of days. The hospital was already waiting for us. Examined, took blood for tests and the next day an operation was scheduled. Everything went well. Then they underwent a course of radiotherapy. The results are positive, we were sent home to Ukraine (August 2021). Every 3 months they underwent MRI, the pictures were good .. But a year later, in March 2022, we heard the terrible words “relapse”, “war”. Hastily collected the necessary documents and left for Lviv. From there, by large buses, all children with cancer began to be taken out along the humanitarian corridor from Ukraine to Europe. The daughter and his wife were assigned to France. A second operation was performed, the tumor was removed, and after that a course of chemotherapy was prescribed. After a month of taking the course, the doctor said that chemotherapy was not helping. The doctor suggested experimental chemotherapy, but that didn't help either. As a result, the daughter is getting worse and worse every day. The child began to walk badly, the right leg and handle practically do not work. The child melted before my eyes. It's all very scary, but it's worse to leave Vlad without an opportunity for treatment. I again turned to Marina Bookmed Marina again very quickly found us a hospital in Turkey, helped us with the flight Paris Istanbul. Arrived at the hospital 2 days later, the operation was successful!!! After the operation, the child began to talk, swallow, and after a couple of days to walk. What I want to say Bookmed in particular Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level. Marina many thanks to you and your team THANK YOU. Read more less

"I recommend to everyone, wizards work here - professionals in their field!"Categorized statements: About the doctor: "Easy to communicate, concise, it is immediately clear that the highest level specialist, after the examination, identified the problem and showed it on the MRI scan and explained what was to come
LIV Hospital services are very much in line with and in no way inferior to the world level, believe me, because due to health problems of my family, we had to see clinics in the USA, China, South Korea, Israel. From the very first call I felt great care for me as a loved one. Many thanks to Sabina, Nigina - coordinators / translators, they did a great job, we could contact them at any time of the day and they supported the patient with all their hearts. Please note that everything here is based on Turkish, only doctors can communicate in English. It can be seen how much Turkey has advanced and is self-sufficient. I am grateful to fate that I met the professor - neurosurgeon Chagatay Ozturk. Easy to communicate, concise, it is immediately clear that the highest level specialist, after the examination, identified the problem and showed it on the MRI scan and explained what was to come. An operation was performed to remove the hernia on L5-S1 and a titanium disc was installed. The atmosphere of the team was very favorable and cozy, there was a high level of coherence and discipline. The concern was such that I did not feel any pain or heaviness, although they say that the operation was not an easy one. On the second day after the operation, I already walked and on the sixth day I was already discharged. Finally I got rid of pain and sleepless nights over the years! I recommend to everyone, wizards work here - professionals in their field! Best regards, Gaziz Kissym Kazakhstan Read more less

The quality of the translation was incompetent, poor, slow, disorganized, very often different information, they did not answer my questions and I had to ask the same question 5 times to get an answer or an appointment with the doctor. They made mistakes regarding the diagnosis. It is unacceptable . I advise you to pay attention to translators and pay attention to the quality of their work! This spoils the reputation of the clinic!

What is important to know about the procedure?

  • Laminectomy or open decompression of the spine is the removal of part of the vertebra (its arch). It is prescribed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves that is caused by a herniated disc, tumor, or injury. Thanks to the procedure, patients get rid of the unpleasant manifestations of the disease (pain, paralysis of the limbs, etc.).
  • The operation is safe . In order for the operation to be carried out accurately and safely in the largest neurosurgical centers, doctors use special surgical robots. These units calculate the optimal access to the injured vertebra based on examination data and track the location of surgical instruments in real time. Such an operation minimizes the possibility of medical errors and subsequent complications.
  • Recovery takes up to 3 days. To shorten the period of postoperative rehabilitation, neurosurgeons perform the intervention endoscopically. The method allows you to remove the vertebral arch through 3-4 thin incisions up to 2 cm in size. This minimizes damage to muscles, blood vessels and nerve endings, so all tissues quickly heal and recover. A few hours after the operation, the patient sits down, and the next day he moves freely.

Bookimed has collected clinics around the world where laminectomy is available using modern sparing techniques. The rating is formed based on the choice of our patients. You can ask all additional questions to our coordinator, who will contact you after you leave a request on the site. He will guide you on the cost of the procedure, help you choose a clinic, make an appointment with a doctor or an examination. You do not pay for Bookimed services. Find out how we work

I had an amazing experience with this hospital. The hospital itself was pristinely clean and the room I was given was luxurious and private. From all my pre op testing to after my surgery, everything flowed and was done so smoothly. The attention and care I got from the nurses post op put me at ease and made me feel so safe. They very much prioritise the patients health as all hospitals should but with the horror stories you hear in the media about health tourism is hard to find a hospital to trust, but lokman hekim is one that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone and I think I picked the right place to have my gastric sleeve.

Hello, we are from Kazakhstan. Came here for diagnosis and treatment of my son. We really liked the clinic. Neurologist Barış Metin explained everything to us in detail. We learned a lot about my son's illness. My son has hydrocephalus and even after the tests we found out that he has epilepsy, the VP-shunt works at an accelerated rate, so my son did not develop. Now we are receiving treatment. We hope it helps insha Allah. I also liked the staff, especially the translators, I forgot the names, but one of them even knows the Kazakh language. It was super convenient. Thank you very much Bookimed, you are the best, you helped us a lot, especially thanks to Oksana and Anna, they always answered on time and put up with us for more than a month.

FAQ about Laminectomy in Turkey

Laminectomy or open decompression of the spine is a low-traumatic operation during which the neurosurgeon removes part of the vertebra - the arch. The doctor prescribes it for intervertebral hernia, injuries and degenerative changes in the spine.

The main advantages of this treatment are a small blood loss during the operation and a quick recovery.

What are the types of open spinal decompression?

There are several types of operation:

  • interlaminar - resection of the arches of two adjacent vertebrae;
  • osteoplastic - after resection of the vertebral arch, the doctor closes the hole with a special implant;
  • exploratory - a diagnostic operation to assess the condition of the spinal canal.

What are the indications and contraindications for the procedure?

Indications:

  • narrowing of the spinal canal;
  • hernia of one or more intervertebral discs;
  • bone growths (osteophytes) of the spine;
  • spinal tumor;
  • disorders caused by pinching of the spinal cord (disorders of urination and digestion, loss of sensation and impaired mobility of the limbs).

Main contraindications:

  • inflammatory or infectious diseases;
  • pregnancy;
  • acute or chronic disorders of the heart;
  • respiratory failure;
  • blood clotting disorders;
  • diabetes;
  • severe conditions caused by another disease.

What does preparation for surgery include?

Before the operation, the patient must undergo an examination:

  • blood test;
  • Analysis of urine;
  • coagulogram;
  • electrocardiogram (ECG);
  • checking liver function;
  • chest x-ray;
  • CT or MRI of the spine

How is the procedure and recovery going?

During the procedure, the patient is under general anesthesia. The neurosurgeon makes a small longitudinal incision (up to 3 cm), removes the vertebral arches and sutures.

In the first days, to reduce pain, the doctor prescribes a course of analgesics to the patient.
