This single-level endoscopic discectomy is a minimally invasive approach, using small incisions for less tissue disruption and faster recovery compared to open surgery. Neurosurgeon Dr. Ertugrul Pinar performs the procedure, which includes foraminotomy and canal decompression. It is offered at the JCI-accredited Hisar Hospital Intercontinental for approximately $4,510. The established facility treats over 500,000 patients annually.
The UCSF-fellowship neurosurgeon Ismail Oltulu uses an operative microscope and intraoperative neuromonitoring for a two-level L4-L5 and L5-S1 microdiscectomy. This JCI-accredited clinic, Memorial Şişli Hospital, treats international patients from over 160 countries. The package costs around $9,000, covering the microsurgery, anesthesia, pre-operative tests, and follow-up care with a recovery plan of 3–4 days hospital stay. High-resolution MRI with CISS sequencing aids in precise surgical planning.
Prof. Dr. Zafer Orkun Toktas, a neurosurgeon with over 15 years of experience in leading Istanbul hospitals, performs the single-level procedure using a minimally invasive microsurgical approach. At Memorial Ataşehir Hospital, this package costs around $13,750 and covers the surgery, a 3–4 day hospital stay with 24/7 nursing, meals for patient and companion, plus transfers and an interpreter. The JCI-accredited hospital meets global safety standards, and a postoperative MRI confirms the outcome.
