Treatment of Cervical Disc Herniation

33-year-old Mr. Kristian Tonev came to Corlu Vatan Private Hospital seeking relief from severe pain in the neck and left arm area. After this pain began to significantly disrupt his daily life and overall well-being, in order to find a solution to the problem, he contacted the international patients department of Corlu Vatan Private Hospital. Mr. Tonev case was taken over by Dr. Abdullah TEMIZKAN – Specialist in Neurosurgery.

After our patient arrived at the hospital, a detailed physical examination and imaging investigations such as MRI were performed. Based on the physical examination and the imaging investigations, the patient was recommended a surgical intervention for the removal of disc herniation at two levels in the cervical section of the spine. The patient accepted the proposed surgical intervention and the preoperative preparation stage began. After it was determined that there were no medical obstacles to performing the surgical intervention, the patient was hospitalized.

The following day, the surgical intervention was successfully performed by Dr. Abdullah Temizkan, using a microsurgical method with an anterior approach. The microsurgical method offers a number of potential benefits for the patient, such as reduced blood loss, faster recovery and return to normal daily life, and minimized risk of postoperative complications.

After a three-day recovery period and postoperative hospitalized monitoring, Mr. Tonev was ready to return home to Bulgaria, in improved health condition, having said goodbye to the pain that was present upon his admission to the hospital.

Happy with the successful outcome of his treatment, Mr. Kristian Tonev expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Abdullah TEMIZKAN and the entire team of Corlu Vatan Private Hospital for their care and professionalism.

Mr. Kristian Tonev is just one of the many examples of successful treatments that we achieve daily at Corlu Vatan Private Hospital. We thank all our patients for their trust and are pleased that we can contribute to their well-being.
