Brain and nerve treatment in Turkey
Turkey is currently the only destination where Medbook arranges treatment of the brain and nerves, and it offers all eight procedures in the area: brain tumour surgery, Parkinson's and deep brain stimulation, epilepsy treatment and surgery, brain aneurysm and stroke treatment, hydrocephalus and shunt surgery, trigeminal neuralgia and nerve surgery, multiple sclerosis treatment, and migraine and headache treatment.
Each offer shows in which of Turkey's eight cities your treatment takes place. Neurological and stroke rehabilitation, which belongs to the rehabilitation area, is likewise offered on Medbook only in Turkey, and it can go into the same request as a treatment from this area.
You see a price only when a clinic makes you an offer.

What you can have done in Turkey
Turkey's list includes operations, such as brain tumour surgery, hydrocephalus and shunt surgery, and trigeminal neuralgia and nerve surgery, as well as treatment for epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, brain aneurysm and stroke, and migraine and headache. Medbook's guide to brain and nerve treatment, under Treatments, explains what each procedure is.
If you are not sure which procedure you need, choose "Not sure yet" under brain and nerves. The clinic reviews your case before it makes you an offer.
How the trip usually goes
Medbook's guide to brain and nerve treatment lists the scans and records to gather before you travel. In the online consultation with the clinic in Turkey, ask in which language its reports will be written and how it will share them with your neurologist at home.
Once you confirm an offer, you add your flight to your roadmap and then the transfer, booking each yourself or handing it to Medbook. In Turkey, the transfers between the airport, your accommodation and the clinic are arranged for you, an interpreter is arranged for your stay, and a personal coordinator handles the practical side. If you need a visa, an invitation letter for your application can be arranged.
The stay usually includes appointments before the treatment as well as the treatment itself, and some time in Turkey before the flight home. How much time depends on the treatment, and your clinic confirms the dates in its offer. When you compare offers, check whether follow-up is included.
Questions
Can I compare offers for brain treatment from more than one country?
Not at the moment, because Turkey is the only destination on Medbook that offers this area. If you receive more than one offer, you can still compare their dates, where the treatment takes place and whether follow-up is included before you confirm one.
Is spine surgery part of this area?
No. Spine surgery is an area of its own on Medbook. Turkey offers every spine procedure on the list and South Korea offers some of them, so if you choose one together with a treatment from this area, your results show which destination offers each.
Is heart and brain screening part of this area?
No. Heart and brain screening is one of the health check-up programmes, which Turkey and South Korea both offer, while this area covers treatment. You can choose a check-up and a treatment together when you describe your case.
