What is Neurosurgery?

Neurosurgery; It constitutes the branch of modern medicine that includes brain, spinal cord, spine and neurosurgery. Neurosurgery, which has begun to provide a more modern service to humanity all over the world with the development of diagnostic and non-surgical methods in recent years, enables the realization of many treatments that were considered impossible until yesterday, with the advancements made. The staff of the Neurological Sciences Center, which sets out with the philosophy of serving humanity, each has world-class education, knowledge and experience in their field; It consists of surgeons, neurologists, anesthesiologists and intensive care specialists, psychiatrists, psychologists, physical therapy and rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists, nurses and technicians.
Diagnosis and treatment of patients with technology support; This issue continues in specialized service and intensive care. For a better service department; He continues his studies in neuro-oncology, cerebrovascular surgery, epilepsy, spinal surgery, pediatric neurosurgery, stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, peripheral nerve surgery and neuro-spinal trauma. Neuromonitoring is used in surgeries. Surgical implants such as bone tissue or screws can be used.

•    Neuro-oncology

Surgical treatment is performed using microsurgery methods for tumors originating from the brain, spinal cord or nerve membranes, pituitary gland tumors, vital tumors in hard-to-reach places in the brain and skull base tumors.

•    Vascular Surgery

It includes surgery and treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage, aneurysms, brain and spinal cord anteriovenous malformations, and some stroke cases. “By pass” surgeries that can be applied to some cerebrovascular occlusions are also successfully performed in neurosurgery.

•    Epilepsy Surgery

Our specialized neurology and neurosurgery team successfully performs epilepsy surgeries. Epilepsy monitoring and neuromonitoring are performed.

•    Spine and Spinal Cord Surgery

Spine surgeries, fusion surgeries, minimally invasive spine surgeries, kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty surgeries, osteoporotic spine fractures, degenerative spondylosis and spinal canal stenosis, lumbar disc herniation and cervical disc herniation surgeries, spinal canal narrowings and calcifications that occur with aging, spine and spinal cord tumors, congenital Treatment of spinal cord and spinal disorders and degenerative scoliosis is carried out using the most up-to-date treatment approaches and microsurgical and endoscopic methods.

•    Pediatric Neurosurgery

Diseases such as brain and spinal cord diseases, tumors, hydrocephalus, and waist pouch (meningomyelocele) seen in the newborn and pediatric age groups are successfully treated with microsurgical methods.

•    Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery

Deep brain stimulation can be performed with the help of microelectrodes using stereotactic methods. Surgical treatment is applied in cases such as trigeminal neuralgia and cancer pain.

•    Peripheral Nerve Surgery

Compression that can occur in all nerves, for example; Nerve compression, nerve and plexus incisions and injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome or cubital tunnel syndrome(ulnar nerve) are treated with microsurgical methods.

•    Neuro-spinal Trauma

Current treatment approaches are used in head and spine traumas, which are an important problem in our country and in the world, and microsurgical treatments are applied successfully in head traumas and spine-spinal cord traumas with the contribution of technology.
