Pediatric neurosurgery clinics in Turkey
Turkish neurosurgeons have extensive experience in treating diseases of the brain and spinal cord. Every year, patients from all over the world visit the clinic. Doctors treat newborns and children in serious condition.
Medical centers in Turkey are equipped with new equipment. This allows for minimally invasive operations and safe anesthesia. Children tolerate such operations better and go through the postoperative period faster.
Doctors carry out diagnosis and treatment according to modern international protocols. Experienced surgeons with more than 10 years of experience perform operations.
MedTour patients recommend clinics for the treatment of pediatric neurosurgical in Turkey:
Frequently Asked Questions
Turkish neurosurgeons treat all diseases of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Most often, children undergo treatment for diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) in Turkey such as:
- Epilepsy;
- Hydrocephalus;
- Glioblastoma;
- Arteriovenous malformation is a congenital anomaly of the development of cerebral vessels;
- Traumatic brain injuries and their consequences;
- Spina bifida;
- Consequences of birth trauma.
When choosing a clinic, you should consider several factors:
- Availability of a specialized neurosurgical department at the clinic;
- Experience of the doctor and team of the neurosurgical hospital;
- Availability of our own laboratory and intensive care wards.
Most medical centers in Turkey presented on the MedTour website meet the above requirements. Leave a request to learn more about medical centers in Turkey.
In Turkish clinics, an interdisciplinary team of doctors cares for each patient. The team includes specialists from various specialties:
- Neurosurgeon;
- Neurologist;
- Ophthalmologist;
- Pediatrician, etc.
This makes it possible to draw up the most optimal diagnostic and treatment plan.
The set of prescribed diagnostic procedures affects the price. During diagnosis, the patient can undergo the following tests in a Turkish clinic:
- Doctor consultation – from $120;
- Computed tomography (CT) – from $250;
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – from $450;
- Laboratory blood tests – from $280;
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) – from $300;
- Electromyography (EMG) – from $250.
Examples of the cost of operations for certain diseases in Turkey:
- Brain cyst – $8,000;
- Intervertebral hernia – from $5,000;
- Hydrocephalus – from $13,300;
- Pituitary adenoma – from $16,000;
- Meningioma – from $18,000;
- Glioblastoma – from $25,000.
The stage of the pathological process, the general condition of the patient, the level of accreditation of the clinic and the experience of the doctor affect the final cost of treatment.
Leave a request on the MedTour platform to undergo diagnostics and treatment in a Turkish clinic. A coordinating doctor will contact you to answer questions and offer options.
After choosing a clinic, you can provide medical documentation, which will be reviewed by a specialist in a hospital in Turkey. This will outline a preliminary plan for diagnosis and treatment, as well as their cost.
Neurosurgical surgeries for children in Turkey
Patients are treated in a specialized pediatric neurosurgical department. Each department has intensive care rooms for monitoring patients after surgery.
Minimally invasive surgeries
Doctors perform surgical interventions on the brain and spinal cord using a minimally invasive method without large incisions, with minimal damage to healthy tissue. This approach allows surgeons to perform operations faster and use anesthesia that is less toxic to children’s nerve cells. During the operation, Turkish neurosurgeons use intraoperative MRI and neuronavigation installations. This makes it possible to perform interventions with high accuracy and minimal risk of side effects.
Non-surgical treatment
In some cases, it is possible to carry out non-surgical treatment of tumors and other diseases of the central nervous system using radiosurgery. Radiosurgical installations CyberKnife and Varian Edge affect the pathological focus with a high-energy directed beam of charged particles. This leads to complete destruction of the tumor without affecting adjacent healthy tissue.
Surgical treatment of epilepsy
Drug treatment does not always bring positive results. The doctor may suggest an operation to remove the focus if the epileptic focus is clearly localized in the brain. New diagnostic equipment (3 Tesla MRI, highly sensitive EEG) provide doctors with comprehensive information about the localization of pathological brain activity. Neurosurgeons remove the epileptic focus surgically or cauterize it using special coagulation equipment.
Advantages of treating diseases of the nervous system in children in Turkish clinics
Escort. A representative of the clinic accompanies the patient from the moment of arrival in Turkey at all stages of diagnosis and treatment. A professional translator is present during the consultation with the doctor. With the help of an interpreter, the patient can communicate with the doctor and ask questions.
The international department of the clinic helps with organizing transfers, air travel and accommodation near the clinic.
Quality of medical care. Treatment of patients is carried out according to American and European protocols. This is confirmed by international independent accreditations such as JCI and ISO. Most major medical centers in Turkey are regularly certified to meet international standards.
Qualification of specialists. To begin independent medical practice, doctors undergo long-term training, which takes from 10 to 12 years. During their studies, doctors use government grants for internships and research in leading medical centers in the USA, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and other countries with developed medicine.
Clinic equipment. International clinics in Turkey have all the necessary equipment to conduct high-quality diagnostics and treatment of the brain and spinal cord in children. The operating rooms are equipped with intraoperative MRI and CT machines, systems for performing neuroendoscopy – minimally invasive brain surgery.
Diagnostic equipment allows you to create three-dimensional images of the brain, which are used for navigation during operations.
Affordable price. Prices for diagnosis and treatment in Turkey are significantly lower compared to clinics in the USA and Europe. This is due to the economic level of the country and the exchange rate of the domestic currency – the Turkish lira.
