A New Chapter: Michael’s Spinal Fusion Journey in Turkey

Michael Johnson of Toronto, 52, a schoolteacher, had been suffering from chronic back pain for several years. What was at first mild pain had escalated into chronic pain which consequently compromised his ability to enjoy life and his work. Finally, after going through several local treatments to cure his sickness, Michael concluded that there was need for change of great proportions. It is at this time that he finds the Turan Turan Robotic Surgery Center and Orthopedic Clinic in Bursa, Turkey.

Discovery

Michael came across the clinic during his search for new spinal fusion methods.

“They said I was an extreme case and they could not operate on me through normal laparoscopic surgery but they referred to robotic-assisted surgery,” Michael says.

It twigged him when he considered the state-of-the-art technology and success rates of the clinic. “The success stories shared by other patients made me gain the morale to seek a consultant,” Michael continues. Not wasting time, he made up his mind that this was the right place he had to have his surgery.

Pre-Surgery Experience

Michael was very much concerned with the prospect of having surgery in a different country. But that was brushed aside by his fears as he stepped into the clinic that was some distance from his home. “When I first joined I did not feel like I had landed in a new company but a family,” Michael says. He noticed a thorough consultation with Dr. Kayhan Turan; the doctor was always patient, explaining all the actions that were to be taken. These are Michael’s words: “I felt like I was in knowledgeable hands.” The preparation process and pre-operative waiting made him prepared and hopeful of the upcoming surgery.

The Surgery

Before the operation, Michael had certain anticipations with feelings of both anxiety and expectation. He says that seeing the capabilities of the robotic technology was like watching the future of medicine at work. Michael was very comfortable throughout the procedure owing to the precision of Dr. Turan and his team. “Starting from the front desk to doctors and other staff members, everyone was very professional and knowledgeable which gave me the comfort of maintaining good health,” he adds.

Recovery and Results

Post-surgery recovery was an important part of Michael’s journey.

“The personalized rehabilitation plan they provided was fantastic,” he says. The clinic’s support didn’t stop after the surgery; it extended through his recovery process. “They checked in regularly and adjusted my rehab plan as needed,” Michael adds.

Gradually, the severe pain he had endured for years began to diminish. He regained his mobility and was thrilled to return to his favorite activities, including hiking and playing with his grandchildren.

Reflection

Reflecting on his experience, Michael is grateful for the choice he made. “The surgery at Turan Turan Robotic Surgery Center was a turning point in my life,” he says. The combination of innovative technology, exceptional care, and a supportive team transformed his life. “I’m now living a pain-free life and enjoying every moment,” Michael concludes.
