Neurosurgery in Turkey covers the full spectrum of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. From herniated disc surgery and lumbar stenosis to brain tumor resection, cerebral aneurysm repair, and deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease, Turkish neurosurgeons operate within JCI-accredited hospitals equipped with intraoperative MRI, neuronavigation systems, and robotic-assisted platforms comparable to the leading centers in Europe and North America.
Through Turquie Santé, international patients access a network of 10+ specialized neurosurgical hospitals across Istanbul and Ankara. A dedicated coordinator manages every step of the process: remote file review, surgical planning with the specialist, hospital admission, airport transfers, and post-operative follow-up once you return home. The initial medical opinion is provided free of charge and remotely before any travel commitment.
