Key Information
Advanced Neurosurgery in Turkey
Neurosurgery demands the most rigorous standards of precision and technology. Our partner neuroscience centres are equipped with intraoperative MRI and CT, neuro-navigation systems for sub-millimetre surgical precision, and 24/7 neurological intensive care. Surgeons have trained in Germany, the USA and the UK and routinely perform procedures — including awake craniotomy, deep brain stimulation and complex spinal decompression — that are typically available only at specialist centres in the West.
- Intraoperative MRI and neuro-navigation guidance
- Awake craniotomy for tumours in eloquent brain areas
- Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's and tremor
- Level-1 neurological ICU with 24/7 intensivist cover
Neurological Conditions We Treat
Brain and spine conditions treated include glioma, meningioma, acoustic neuroma, pituitary tumours, lumbar disc herniation, cervical myelopathy, trigeminal neuralgia, hydrocephalus and movement disorders. For conditions such as multiple sclerosis and epilepsy, our neurology partners provide full diagnostic workup including video-EEG monitoring, EMG/NCV studies and neuropsychological testing.
Neurosurgery Costs in Turkey
The cost of neurosurgical procedures in Turkey represents a significant saving over private-sector pricing in the UK or Germany. Brain tumour resection costs £10,000–£20,000 in Turkey compared with £50,000–£80,000 privately in the UK. Costs include surgery, ICU stay, imaging and post-operative rehabilitation planning.
- Brain tumour surgery: from £10,000 (vs £50,000+ UK private)
- Spine decompression surgery: from £5,000
- Deep brain stimulation (DBS): from £18,000 (vs £60,000+ UK)
- Post-op neuro-rehabilitation planning included
Frequently Asked Questions
How safe is brain surgery in Turkey?
Safety in neurosurgery depends on technology, surgical volume and ICU quality — all of which our partner centres deliver at Western standards. Centres hold JCI accreditation, use intraoperative neuro-monitoring, and maintain dedicated level-1 neurological ICUs.
What technology is used for brain tumour surgery in Turkey?
Our neurosurgical centres use intraoperative MRI, neuro-navigation (Brainlab or Stryker), fluorescence-guided resection (5-ALA), and neurophysiological monitoring. These tools, combined with awake craniotomy capability, enable maximum safe tumour removal.
Can I get a neurosurgical second opinion without travelling to Turkey?
Yes. Send us your MRI/CT images and reports via a secure file transfer. Our neurosurgeons will review them and provide a written second opinion within 5 working days. This is offered at no charge for patients considering treatment with VelaCare.
How long is recovery after spine surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure. Most minimally invasive spinal decompressions require 5–7 days in hospital and patients can fly home within 10–14 days. Open fusion surgery requires 10–14 days in hospital and additional recovery time before long-haul travel.
Can VelaCare arrange emergency neurology care?
For urgent but non-emergency cases (recently diagnosed tumour, progressive neurological symptoms), we can typically arrange initial consultation within 3–5 days. We do not coordinate emergency trauma care — for that, local emergency services should always be contacted first.
