"Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level
image image
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.

About the Clinic: We were accommodated in a two-room apartment, three meals a day (for me and my son), the food is delicious
Thanks to the Bookimed team, namely Bondarenko Ostap, for organizing our trip ... my son is 12 years old from Belarus. My son has many diseases, but the main problems are related to the endocrine system and neurology. The life of our family turned into a vicious circle from a series of hospitals in Belarus but the result was zero !!! Despair had no limits ... We decided to go abroad for operations ... Bookimed offered several countries for treatment, Israel billed an incredibly huge bill for the examination, although we had all the latest analyzes, we left this option right away on on om ... At first, I was very wary of the proposal to operate in the Turkish Republic, but all my doubts got divorced at the Medipol clinic. We were accommodated in a two-room apartment, three meals a day (for me and my son), the food is delicious ... Wonderful translators in the clinic, who accompany us everywhere and the most important thing is that everything is included in the cost of treatment ... Doctors and medical personnel are top notch, kind, friendly, the doctor will embrace the child, kiss his head !!! where our doctor will hug ... at first my son was wild and feared achey, and now can not wait to go again when we are treated ... If there is any doubt with regard to Turkey, they are useless !!! acceptable prices at a high level and quality of relations Ostap Bondarenko is a highly qualified specialist, he will give a shoulder and will find a kind word !!! when despair takes you and give up, you should always contact Bookimed-Team with a capital letter ... Thank you for being

Conclusions: if you have completed all the treatments and nothing has helped you and your fate is neurosurgery, feel free to trust yourself to this staff and Prof
Medipol-March 2024. March 2024, the pain can no longer be tolerated. The left side of the leg is taken away, there are strong shootings all over the leg. The organization was at the highest level. They met me upon arrival, put me in a car, took me to the hotel, and in the morning I ended up seeing a Neurosurgeon. The next day - surgery. Removal of intervertebral hernia L4-L5. Three months have passed, there is no pain like before, there are moments, but completely different. Personal thanks from me: Prof.Dr Nejat Akalan- Thank you for providing such relief to my illness. The pain is gone, I don’t run, but it’s very easy compared to what I had before when I didn’t come to you. Thank you so much! Dasha - Thank you very much for your support and organization of all the moments. Your speed and logistics helped me a lot. It is very valuable that you work and help people in this area.

I really liked the clinic
I really liked the clinic. Logistics. Transfer. The doctors are competent. Competent. The equipment in the clinic is new and excellent. But the translators were very upset, it spoiled my impression of the clinic. This made me very sad! 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!

FAQ

When is herniated disc surgery indicated?

Indications to hernia surgery:

  • pressure of the spinal cord by hernia
  • pain insensitive to medicines
  • development of the neurologic disorders
  • other treatments are ineffective.
How is herniated disc surgery performed?

Neurosurgeons apply such technique to remove herniated disc (discectomy, laminectomy): open interventional, endoscopic operation, microsurgery. The choice of the methods depends on the hernia location, disease stage, and symptoms.

What types of ruptured (herniated) disc surgery are performed?

The most common surgeries for hernia treatment are:

  • Laminectomy. This is a removal of a small area of bone tissue near the damaged nerve ending. This surgery allows to reduce hernia pressure of the nerve, restore normal blood supply, get rid of pain.
  • Discectomy is a partial or complete removal of the affected herniated disc. Due to this operation, a sensitivity of nerve ending restores, pain and numbness disappear.
  • Prosthesis or herniated disc replacement. This is implantation of artificial vertebra. It is performed after herniated disc removal.
  • Spinal stabilization is a fixation of herniated discs with special supporting systems (implants, plates, screws). Doctors provide stabilization if the spine does not hold a normal position after hernia removal.
What are the new options for herniated disc surgery?

Among the latest hernia treatments are:

  • Minimally invasive surgery. A doctor uses a special microscope to remove a herniated disc. It allows seeing all nerves and vessels in details. As a result, healthy tissues are not damaged. A patient can return home after slipped disc surgery the next day.
  • Robotic guidance system A doctor performs all movements through small punctures up to 1.5 cm using a special robotic device. The system analyzes doctor's manipulations and makes them smoother excluding the "trembling hand" affect. Such surgeries are very precise and effective.
Is it possible to cure herniated disc completely?

The surgery allows completely getting rid of a herniated disc. However, postoperative screening of patients shows that a possibility of relapse in the neighboring discs is preserved. It is necessary to follow medical recommendations to avoid disease recurrence.

What does herniated disc surgery cost include?

The slipped disc surgery cost usually includes:

  • the procedure itself
  • medications
  • fee for a team of doctors.

Only a doctor can calculate how much hernia surgery costs in your case. Submit a request to get a cost estimate and know what it includes.

What affects slipped disc surgery cost?

The hernia surgery cost depends on such factors:

  • The location of the chosen hospital. The cost of ruptured disc surgery in Indian hospitals is 1.5-2 times lower than in Turkish ones, 3-4 times — than in Southern Korean, Israeli or Western European medical centers, and about 5-7 times cheaper than in the US or Canadian hospitals. Despite the difference in a price, the quality of hernia surgery remains at about the same level. Numerous certificates (such as JCI, OECI, etc.) confirm high standards of medical services.
  • Doctor's experience. A specialist, who has vast experience in herniated disc surgery, applies the latest technologies, participates in the international conferences, and has positive reviews from patients, may ask for a higher fee. In this case, the hernia surgery cost will be higher.
  • A type of herniated disc surgery. This surgery can be less or more complicated depending on the hernia location, size of an affected area. Due to this, the herniated disc surgery price changes.
