Full endoscopic cervical spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat herniated disk, spinal stenosis or degenerative cervical disc disease that cause neck pain, arm pain, numbness, or weakness. Both anterior and posterior techniques have been adapted to address a variety of cervical pathologies. The full endoscopic approach was developed to treat degenerative diseases with the least possible invasion and without causing instability of the cervical spine. The primary objective of these procedures, similar to traditional open surgeries, is to surgically decompress the spinal canal centrally and/or along the foramen, relieving pressure on the nerves and spinal cord.

Eligible candidates for this procedure include individuals experiencing chronic neck pain or radiating arm pain due to a herniated or degenerated cervical disk, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or hands caused by nerve compression. Individuals with Symptoms that have not improved with conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections are also eligible candidates. Patients with severe spinal instability, advanced arthritis, or other complex spinal conditions may require alternative treatments.

Recovery after full endoscopic cervical disc surgery is generally quicker compared to traditional open surgeries due to its minimally invasive nature. Most patients can expect to stay in the hospital for a short period, typically just a few hours to overnight, depending on their condition. Pain is usually manageable, with most patients experiencing mild discomfort in the neck and shoulders, which can be alleviated with prescribed medications. Many patients can return to normal activities, such as light work, within a few days to weeks, though heavier activities or strenuous exercises should be avoided for several weeks to ensure proper healing.

Follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring recovery and ensuring there are no complications. Physical therapy may be recommended to help strengthen the neck muscles, improve mobility, and reduce the risk of future issues. Full recovery can take several weeks to months, with most patients experiencing significant improvement in symptoms such as neck pain, arm pain, or numbness. However, as with any surgery, it’s important to follow the surgeon’s instructions carefully and report any unusual symptoms promptly to ensure a smooth recovery process.

• Keep the incision site clean and dry to prevent infection. Follow the surgeon’s instructions for dressing changes.
• Avoid heavy lifting, bending, or twisting the neck for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
• Regular check-ups are essential to monitor healing and assess nerve function.
• Take prescribed medications as directed to manage post-operative pain.
• We regularly follow up with our patients to monitor their recovery after returning to their home countries, for up to 6 months to 1 year post-surgery.
• It is crucial that patients report any issues or complications during their recovery promptly to our clinic without delay, before seeking assistance from any third-party specialists.

Selecting the right clinic for full endoscopic cervical disk surgery can be challenging, especially with the flood of commercial advertisements and social media promotions. Amidst all the noise, it’s important to find a clinic that ticks all the boxes for your medical needs. So, what should guide your decision-making process when shortlisting a clinic?

The key criteria for making an informed choice include:

• Honest, unbiased medical advice, free from commercial interests.
• Building a genuine rapport with patients, showing empathy and understanding their concerns, and managing expectations effectively.
• Prioritizing patient well-being and safety above all else.

When considering the cost of surgery, it’s essential to assess the following factors carefully:

• The professional standing of the clinic.
• The complexity of the procedure and the skills required for successful surgery.
• The credentials of the surgeon and the quality of post-surgery care provided.
• Clear terms and conditions, with transparent policies outlining liabilities and responsibilities.

While the price is an important consideration for many people traveling abroad for surgery, prioritizing cost over quality can lead to serious complications and higher costs in the long run. As Prospero Medical, we follow a transparent pricing policy where every service component is clearly outlined, helping patients make informed decisions about their treatment.

Our goal is to offer the most realistic pricing aligned with the quality of care we provide. With experienced surgeons, a wealth of industry expertise, and a comprehensive after-care program, we are committed to offering high-quality medical services at a fair and competitive price.

1. What is Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair?

ACL surgery is a procedure to repair or rebuild the anterior cruciate ligament, which helps keep the knee stable.

2. Why is Anterior Cruciate Ligament surgery needed?

Surgery is usually needed when the Anterior Cruciate Ligament is torn or completely ruptured, causing knee instability, pain or difficulty walking.

3. Who is a good candidate for ACL surgery?

You may need surgery if you have a severe or complete ACL tear, your knee feels unstable, you are active in sports or if you have other knee injuries (meniscus, cartilage).

4. How is ACL surgery performed?

The surgeon makes 2 to 3 small incisions, uses a camera (arthroscope), and replaces the torn ligament with a graft.

5. What types of grafts are used?

Two main graft types: autograft and allograft. Autograft is tissue from your own body (hamstring, patellar or quadriceps tendon); allograft is tissue from a donor.

6. What happens right after surgery?

You will stay in the recovery room for a few hours. Your knee will be in a brace, and you should elevate your leg to reduce swelling.

7. How long is the recovery period?

Full recovery usually takes 6 to 12 months, depending on healing and physical therapy.

8. When can I walk again?

You may walk with crutches at first. Weight-bearing increases slowly as your knee heals.

Most patients return to sports after 6 to 12 months, once strength and stability are restores through rehabilitation.

10. What are the benefits of ACL surgery?

Better knee stability, less pain, improved movement and ability to return to sports are benefits of ACL surgery.

11. How much does ACL surgery cost in Turkey?

Costs vary depending on graft type, surgeon experience, hospital quality, rehabilitation needs.

12. Is ACL repair different from ACL reconstruction?

ACL repair is fixing the original ligament; ACL reconstruction is replacing the ligament with a graft.

13. Will I need physical therapy?

Yes. Physical therapy starts immediately after surgery and continues for months. It is essential for a successful recovery.

14. Can the ACL tear again after surgery?

Yes, but the risk is low if you follow your rehabilitation plan and avoid high-risk activities early in recovery.

15. When can I drive again?

Most patients can drive after 2 to 6 weeks, depending on which leg was operated on and how well they can control the knee.
