How are we doing?
About the clinic
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) at Atlas University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provides a specialized solution for chronic pain management. The hospital offers this advanced procedure within its dedicated Brain Pacemaker (Neuromodulation) Center, supported by over 25 years of neurosurgery experience. Patients benefit from a facility that holds AACI accreditation and treats over 500,000 people every year.
Advanced Neuromodulation Center
The hospital operates a specialized Brain Pacemaker Center. This center focuses on neuromodulation techniques like the spinal cord stimulator, often called a pain pacemaker. The medical team has over 15 years of experience specifically in brain and nerve stimulation. They use a multidisciplinary approach to help patients manage persistent pain that has not responded to other treatments. The facility features 400 beds and 19 operating rooms, including a hybrid room for complex cases.
Expert Neurosurgery Team
The neurosurgery department is staffed by specialists who focus on nerve and brain health. This team includes Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Hakan Şahin and Asst. Prof. Dr. Ali Osman Muçuoğlu. Dr. Hüseyin Doğu also provides care within this department. These surgeons manage a wide range of nerve-related procedures. This includes the placement of SCS devices, vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy, and baclofen pumps for spasticity.
Quality and Patient Safety
Atlas University Hospital holds the International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish government. This certificate confirms the hospital meets specific standards for international patient care. The AACI accreditation further demonstrates a commitment to medical quality and safety. By treating over 565,000 patients annually, the hospital maintains a high volume of experience across various surgical specialties.
SCS Procedure Benefits
Spinal cord stimulation helps block pain signals before they reach the brain. Doctors often recommend this for patients with failed back surgery syndrome or complex regional pain. The process typically involves a trial phase to see if the device reduces pain before a permanent implant is placed.
