Patient Stories

Mr. Wilson Travelled for Spinal Steroid Injection in NP Istanbul Hospital, Turkey

I am quite content with the treatment plan and outcome offered by Dr. Akin. I am grateful to the medical staff at NP Istanbul Hospital and my treating doctor. I thank MediGence from the bottom of my heart as they have helped me from the very beginning, and managed everything for me so that I could focus on the treatment itself. This included finding the hospital, arranging my consultation, and fixing the appointment dates for the test, hotel stay, managing hospital visits, and airport transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the best hospital for spinal fusion in Turkey?

At MediGence, we help you choose the best hospital for spinal fusion in Turkey by offering a curated list of top JCI-accredited hospitals with advanced neurosurgical care. Our platform enables you to compare facilities, specialists, and success rates, ensuring informed decision-making. We also assist with priority appointments and end-to-end care coordination.

Can I have a video consultation with a Turkey spinal fusion specialist before I travel?

Yes, you can have a video consultation with a spinal fusion in Turkey through MediGence before you travel. This allows you to discuss your medical condition, share reports, and get expert opinions from top neurosurgeons without the need to visit in person initially. It helps you understand your treatment options, estimated costs, and prepare for the journey. MediGence makes the process seamless by coordinating the consultation and ensuring all your questions are addressed in advance.

Do spinal fusion physicians in Turkey have board certification or international training?

Yes, most spinal fusion surgeons in Turkey are registered with the Turkish Medical Association (TMA) and hold either FRCS (Orthopaedics) or FRCS (Neurosurgery) board certification. Many fellows complete fellowships overseas that focus on cutting-edge spinal techniques in countries like the United States, Canada, or Germany. These medical professionals are members of organisations like AO Spine and BASS and frequently attend international conferences. They adhere to international clinical standards thanks to their training. You can request it during a consultation or check the training history on the hospital's website.

Can I obtain a second opinion from another specialist in spinal fusion in Turkey?

With the help of the MediGence platform, you can easily get a second opinion from another spinal fusion doctor in Turkey. MediGence connects you with experienced, internationally trained specialists who review your medical records remotely and provide expert advice. This service ensures you have access to multiple perspectives, helping you make informed decisions about your treatment without the need for additional travel.

Are the doctors performing spinal fusion in Turkey board-certified, or do they have international training?

Yes, Turkey's spinal fusion doctors are board-certified by the country's rigorous standards and frequently hold international fellowships. With titles like FRCS (Orth) or FRCS (Neuro Surg), they are listed on the TMA Specialist Register. Many receive training for spinal implants and fusion procedures at top facilities in the United States, Germany, or Australia. It is typical to take part in ongoing professional development and international research.

Which medical speciality treats patients who have had spinal fusions?

In Turkey, neurosurgeons or orthopaedic spine surgeons perform spinal fusion. Both specialities are capable of treating spinal deformities, instability that necessitates fusion, and degenerative disc disease. While neurosurgeons specialise in spinal cord function and nerve protection, orthopaedic surgeons frequently concentrate on the structural and mechanical aspects of the spine. Both types can be found in multidisciplinary teams.

How can I verify the credibility of a spinal fusion doctor in Turkey?

Begin by verifying the credentials, training, and surgical experience of a spinal fusion physician in Turkey on the hospital's official website. Seek out overseas training, fellowships, and memberships in respectable spine associations like the Turkish Spine Society, Eurospine, AO Spine, or the North American Spine Society (NASS). Verify the hospital's JCI accreditation, which denotes compliance with global healthcare standards. For additional reassurance, think about asking the hospital directly about their experience with spinal fusion procedures or requesting the doctor's resume.

What is Turkey's spinal fusion success rate?

Success rates for spinal fusions in Turkey vary depending on the indication but typically fall between 70% and 90%, especially when disc degeneration, spinal instability, or deformity are present. Reduced pain, enhanced function, and vertebral fusion on follow-up imaging are indicators of success. Turkey surgeons utilise contemporary implants, often with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) or navigation support, and adhere to evidence-based procedures. Physiotherapy and patient selection have a significant influence on results. In 6–12 weeks, many patients resume their regular activities.
