The spine, located beneath the thorax, is made up of a series of bones called vertebrae. With age, trauma, or certain medical conditions, these structures can become deformed or compressed, leading to chronic back or neck pain, numbness, or even motor disorders.
While medication can help relieve mild symptoms, more severe cases often require surgical intervention.
Spinal surgery performed in Turkey now offers very promising results, thanks to advanced techniques and personalized care.

Spinal surgery encompasses all procedures performed on the spine, whether at the cervical (neck),thoracic (mid-back),or lumbar (lower back) level. Its main goal is to relieve chronic pain, correct postural abnormalities, or decompress nerves that are affecting mobility or neurological function.
Surgery is generally considered when conventional treatments (medication, physical therapy, injections, etc.) no longer provide effective relief. Some of the most common conditions treated surgically include:
Spinal surgery is generally only considered after non-surgical treatments such as medication, infiltrations or physiotherapy have failed. It becomes necessary when symptoms persist or worsen, affecting your daily autonomy.
Warning signs:
When these symptoms impact your quality of life and no longer respond to conservative treatments, surgical evaluation is recommended.
Thanks to our network of experienced back surgery specialists in Turkey, you can benefit from personalized medical advice to determine whether an operation is necessary. Our experts can help you make a clear and reliable diagnosis remotely or on-site.
Spinal surgery includes a variety of techniques, each tailored to the specific condition and severity of symptoms. In Turkey, our partner clinics use advanced approaches—from minimally invasive procedures to robotic-assisted surgeries—to ensure maximum safety and optimal results.
The choice of surgical technique depends on the patient's condition and the location of the spinal stenosis or herniated disc. It is essential to discuss with your surgeon the benefits and risks of each technique to determine the most suitable option for your case.
The choice of spinal surgery technique depends on several factors: the exact location of the condition, the severity of the symptoms, the patient's overall health, and their medical history.
A thorough consultation with a spine surgery specialist is essential to evaluate the different options, carefully weighing the expected benefits against potential risks. The goal is to offer a personalized solution tailored to your specific condition and expectations.
With Turquie Santé, you benefit from customized support from the diagnostic stage onward, with a multidisciplinary team of experts capable of developing a precise treatment plan in line with international standards.
Surgical procedures on the spine are among the most delicate in the medical-surgical field. They are performed near major nerve structures, requiring heightened vigilance due to the risk of mechanical, neurological, or infectious complications.
Although such complications are relatively rare, their occurrence depends on the type of surgery, the patient's health condition, and the quality of medical care. These potential complications may include:
To minimize these risks, Turquie Santé's partner clinics apply rigorous protocols inspired by international best practice:
Although spinal surgery involves risks, the majority of procedures performed in Turkey deliver highly satisfactory results, with complication rates below the international average, thanks to experienced teams and state-of-the-art technology.
Even with the most advanced techniques, spinal surgery does not guarantee instant recovery. It's essential to maintain realistic expectations regarding healing time, residual pain, and the gradual return to mobility.
Some pain in the operated area is normal after surgery, especially during the first few days. This is usually well managed with prescribed painkillers. In some cases, patients may experience tightness or residual pain for several weeks—particularly if nerves were compressed prior to the operation.
Complete pain relief may not be immediate. It can take several weeks to months, especially if pre-existing nerve damage needs time to regenerate.
Recovery of mobility depends on the type of surgery and your initial physical condition.
Our partner clinics in Turkey provide tailored functional rehabilitation starting as early as the first days of hospitalization, to support active and safe recovery.
What you can expect:
What surgery cannot always guarantee:
Setting realistic goals and committing to rehabilitation are key to a successful outcome.
With Turquie Santé, you benefit from comprehensive, personalized care with guaranteed support throughout your medical journey:
The average stay ranges from 5 to 10 days, depending on the type of procedure performed. All transfers (airport, hotel, clinic) are included, as well as administrative assistance to simplify your visit. Accommodation is provided in 4-star hotels, with the option for a companion to stay with you.
