How are we doing?
About the clinic
Pituitary tumor surgery at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul, Turkey, typically costs around $7,700 to $8,600. The hospital holds JCI accreditation and a 91% patient recommendation rate. Neurosurgeons at the clinic use advanced navigation systems to remove tumors through the nose without external incisions.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The clinic offers two main types of transsphenoidal surgery to remove pituitary adenomas. Doctors choose the method based on the tumor size and location. Both approaches avoid opening the skull, which helps speed up recovery. These include:
- Classical transsphenoidal hypophysectomy with neuronavigation and duraplasty.
- Endoscopic transsphenoidal hypophysectomy using a thin camera for a clear view of the brain.
Each procedure uses cranial navigation. This technology acts like a GPS for the brain to help the surgeon work safely. The classical approach may cost around $7,700 and usually requires 4 nights in the hospital. The endoscopic method is around $8,600 and involves 3 nights of hospital care.
Experienced Neurosurgery Team
The neurosurgery department is led by experts with high procedure counts. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Burak Orhan Boran has over 20 years of experience. He has performed 1,000+ brain and spinal cord surgeries. Dr. Boran is a faculty member at Galata University and specializes in complex tumor removals. Dr. Ertugrul Pinar also works in the department, having performed 900+ neurosurgical procedures over at least 5 years of practice.
Diagnostic and Patient Care
Precise imaging is vital before surgery. The hospital uses 3T MRI and 640-slice CT scans for accurate diagnosis. Before the operation, patients must undergo a contrast-enhanced pituitary MRI. After the surgery, the hospital provides 24-hour nursing care. Patients may also follow up with an endocrinologist to monitor hormone levels.
