Lumbar Microdiscectomy (Using Microscope), Additional Level

Anterior cervical discectomy is a spine procedure offered at Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. A surgical package may cost around $13,200 USD. The treatment is led by an experienced professor of neurosurgery and uses precise, microscope-guided techniques.

About the Discectomy Procedure

This procedure treats issues with cervical spinal discs. It is performed through an anterior approach, meaning access is from the front of the neck. The surgery uses a microscope with navigation and neuromonitoring for high precision. This helps protect surrounding nerves during the operation.

Patients typically stay in the hospital for one night after the surgical procedure. A follow-up consultation after discharge is included. The final treatment plan can be adjusted after an in-hospital evaluation by the doctor.
