Istanbul Hands on Microvascular Anastomosis Course

The “Istanbul Microneurosurgery Course,” organized this year by the Department of Neurosurgery at Yeditepe University Hospital, will take place from January 29 to February 1, 2018.

The course, where Prof. Dr. Gazi Yaşargil—known worldwide as the “Neurosurgeon of the Century”—will share his experiences, will be held under the direction of Prof. Dr. Uğur Türe, Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at Yeditepe University Hospital. Registration for the course, which features the participation of neurosurgeons from around the world and specially invited instructors, filled up months in advance.

Physicians traveling to Turkey from many countries—ranging from the United States to Japan—for this course will have the opportunity to benefit from the experience of Prof. Dr. Gazi Yaşargil, the founder of microsurgery, who not only works on scientific projects alongside Prof. Dr. Uğur Türe but also continues to practice medicine at Yeditepe University Hospital, interacting with patients.

Special Preparations for a Live 3D Surgical Broadcast at Yeditepe University Hospital!

Neurosurgeons participating in the course will be able to watch live, 3D broadcasts of surgeries performed by Prof. Dr. Uğur Türe using techniques he developed himself for procedures such as epilepsy and tumor surgery. Prof. Dr. Gazi Yaşargil will also be watching the live broadcasts of the surgeries alongside the course participants. The new techniques developed by Prof. Dr. Uğur Türe for patients with epilepsy suitable for surgical treatment, as well as those with brain tumors and vascular disorders, offer hope for treatment to many patients.
