You can see that all the specialists at the clinic are professionals. I was quickly diagnosed, my doctor explained the diagnosis in detail, possible treatment methods, and told me about the risks. I was pleasantly surprised by the ward and food at the clinic. Everything is at a high level. I constantly felt care and attention. The operation was successful. I also had chemotherapy here.

I doubted for a long time whether to go abroad, but I still wanted to keep my breasts. At the Okan clinic, I had a gentle operation and started targeted therapy. Immediately after the tumor removal, they also performed a reconstructive operation on my breasts so that they would not differ from the other ones. I really liked the competent explanation of each step, the warm attitude. The doctors chose the best option, it is clear that they empathized. The conditions in the clinic are excellent, food, comfort, psychological support - everything is at a high level. I thank the doctors and all the staff!!!!!!

I usually don't write reviews, but I want to make an exception here. When I was diagnosed, I immediately started looking for a clinic with a modern approach and human attitude. I liked the Okan clinic right away. The doctors prescribed robotic surgery and brachytherapy. Everything was organized clearly: diagnostics, consultations, the therapy process itself. There were no delays anywhere, everything was explained clearly. The doctors did not give false hope, but calmly and confidently led me through the stages of treatment. Now I am at home, continuing therapy under supervision - I was given the opportunity to communicate online with the doctor. I am grateful to this clinic for its professionalism and humanity

Who is a candidate for Ventriculostomy?
People with Hydrocephalus are suitable for Ventriculostomy. Hydrocephalus is the buildup of fluid in the cavities (ventricles) deep inside the brain. Ventriculostomy is performed on these patients to create a hole (stoma) within a cerebral ventricle for drainage.

Preparation for Ventriculostomy
- Before the procedure, the patient and his family/relatives should be given a detailed explanation of the procedure and the risks involved.
- Make sure to follow the guidelines to avoid any risk of infection. Prophylactic antibiotics need to be administered prior to the procedure. These may include things like stopping certain medications, eating a specific diet, and getting plenty of rest.
- It is also important to have support to help both before and after surgery. This could include family and friends, as well as professional caretakers.
- Patients should try to stay positive and focused on their recovery. Because if they are prepared both mentally and physically, the procedure is more likely to be successful.
Tests before Ventriculostomy in Turkey
Turkish doctors carry out tests such as:
- MRI
- Computerized tomography (CT) scan
- Ultrasound
How is Ventriculostomy done in Turkey?
- Ventriculostomy is performed under general anesthesia, and the surgery takes around 60 minutes.
- Before making the incision, the doctors shave the head at the site of surgery.
- To start the procedure, the surgeon drills a hole in the floor of the brain. This is done to allow the entrapped cerebrospinal fluid to leak out and reach the brain's surface, where it can be absorbed.
- Then a small camera is inserted that provides direct visualization of the inside of the brain.
- After that, a small tube, called a shunt, is inserted into the ventricle and threaded under the skin to the outside of the body.
- The shunt allows for the continuous drainage of CSF, and the pressure on the brain is relieved.
Results of Ventriculostomy
The clinical success rate was 82% at the beginning but dropped to 78% in the long term. Overall, 31 patients failed the ETV. A second ETV or shunt procedure was performed on these patients. Long-term success was achieved for patients older than 6 months and for aqueductal stenosis or cyst-related blockage. ( NCBI )
What happens after a Ventriculostomy?
The patients are transferred to their hospital room from the ICU after they are awake and conscious. They typically stay in the hospital for two to three days until they are able to drink properly, manage pain and walk safely.
After being discharged, follow Ups are required after 7–10 days of the treatment to prevent complications and for better recovery. Moreover, following guidelines are to be followed for a better recovery process.
- Avoid alcohol
- Do not do strenuous exercises and lift heavy weights
- Consume a healthy balanced diet
- Take the prescribed medication regularly
Risks of Ventriculostomy
- Ventriculostomy can cause infection and bleeding.
- It can also lead to other complications such as Irritability, Fever and Drowsiness, Vision problems, Nausea, vomiting, and Headaches.
