About the clinic
Bone resection is a surgical procedure to remove diseased or damaged bone. It is performed at Memorial Şişli Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. A specialized procedure such as wide resection of the distal tibia with reconstruction may cost around $24,000. The hospital's primary advantage is its status as the first Joint Commission International-accredited facility in Turkey, ensuring high international quality standards.
The procedure is often part of treating complex conditions like bone tumors. Memorial Şişli Hospital provides comprehensive surgical packages. These packages handle all major aspects of care.
Treatment Details at Memorial Şişli
Surgeons at Memorial Şişli perform specific bone resection techniques. These include wide or radical resections for cancer. They also perform reconstructive surgeries using the patient's own bone tissue, known as autografts. For example, a distal tibia resection might involve an autograft and ankle fusion. Specialized orthopedic hardware like plates and screws is used.
The final treatment plan is determined after arrival. Patients must bring all prior medical records and imaging. A diagnostic biopsy review is typically required first.
