Lumbar Spinal Intramedullary Tumor Resection (excluding laminectomy)

Removal of spinal cord tumors is available at Memorial Ataşehir Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The microsurgical removal with neuromonitoring may cost around $25,000 USD. Prof. Zafer Orkun Toktas, a neurosurgeon with 16 years of experience, performs the procedure using advanced techniques.

Procedure Details

The microsurgical approach removes spinal tumors while preserving surrounding structures. Prof. Toktas has performed over 900 neurosurgical procedures in his career. The surgery uses intraoperative 3D ultrasound for real-time tumor visualization.

Neuromonitoring protects nerve function during the operation. A bone-sparing technique helps preserve spinal stability. Patients typically stay 7-8 nights in the hospital post-surgery.
