Dr. Mehmet Besir SÜRME Clinic in Eskişehir, Turkey, provides comprehensive surgical treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy. Treatment options range from $10,000 for cortical procedures to $23,000-25,000 for advanced neuromodulation surgeries.

Available Surgical Treatments for Epilepsy
The clinic offers several advanced neurosurgical options. These are primarily for cases where medication is not effective.
- Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS): This involves implanting a small device under the skin. It sends mild electrical pulses to the vagus nerve to help reduce seizure frequency. The package for this procedure may cost around $23,000-25,000. It typically includes the VNS device, a 10-day hospital stay, 5 days of accommodation, and all airport transfers.
- Multiple Subpial Transections (MST): This surgical technique disconnects the seizure focus in the brain's outer layer. It aims to preserve vital functions while stopping seizures. The procedure may cost around $10,000. This price often covers the surgery, anesthesia, and hospital stay.
- Stereotaxic Surgeries: These are minimally invasive procedures using precise 3D targeting. They are used to reach deep or hard-to-access seizure areas with minimal disruption. This surgery also typically runs about $10,000.
- Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Surgery: This involves implanting electrodes in specific brain regions. It delivers adjustable electrical stimulation to control seizures. The DBS surgical procedure may cost around $23,000.
Diagnostics and Preparation
