Brain and Nerve Surgery

What is Brain and Nerve Surgery?

Brain and neurosurgery is a branch of medicine that involves surgical treatment of the central and peripheral nervous system. Various diseases and injuries of the brain, spinal cord and nerves are treated by this specialty. This surgical branch aims to restore neurological functions, relieve pain related to the nervous system and improve the quality of life of patients.

Scope of Brain and Nerve Surgery

• Brain Tumors: Brain surgery plays a vital role in the removal of both benign and malignant brain tumors. Surgeons use microsurgical techniques to remove or reduce tumors. The type and location of these tumors determine the treatment method.
• Aneurysms: Brain aneurysms are formed when weakened parts of blood vessels expand. Neurosurgery uses procedures such as clipping or endovascular treatment to prevent these bubbles from bursting. These treatments are important to prevent the aneurysm from bursting and causing serious brain bleeding.
• Herniated Disc: When discs in the spinal cord slip or herniate, they can cause severe pain. Surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to correct these discs to relieve pressure and free up nerve roots. These operations are generally known for their quick recovery time and low risk of complications.
• Epilepsy: Surgery can be used to control seizures in cases of epilepsy that are resistant to medication. This is done by removing the epileptic foci or by stimulating the brain. Epilepsy surgery can significantly improve the quality of life of patients.
• Trigeminal Neuralgia: This severe facial pain disorder can be treated by surgically removing pressure from the nerve. Surgical methods such as microvascular decompression are highly effective in relieving patients’ pain.
• Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders: Surgical methods such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be effective in alleviating the symptoms of such neurological disorders. DBS can significantly reduce tremors and movement control problems.

Pediatric Brain Surgery

Pediatric brain surgery covers the surgical treatment of brain and nervous system diseases seen in children. Children’s brain and nervous system are different from adults and therefore require special expertise. The main diseases and conditions covered by pediatric brain surgery are as follows:

• Congenital Anomalies: Congenital disorders such as spina bifida and craniofacial anomalies are treated with surgical interventions. These conditions require early intervention to ensure normal development of children.
• Hydrocephalus: Hydrocephalus, which is excessive fluid accumulation in the brain, is treated with surgical methods such as shunt placement. This ensures that the brain fluid is properly drained and reduces pressure on the brain.
• Brain Tumors: Brain tumors seen in children may have different biological characteristics than adults and require special surgical approaches. The treatment of these tumors is planned to protect the growth and development processes of the child.
• Trauma: Head trauma in children can occur as a result of falls or accidents. Emergency surgical interventions are vital and necessary to preserve the child’s normal brain functions.
• Epilepsy: Surgery can be an important treatment option in cases of drug-resistant epilepsy in children. Surgical intervention can help children get rid of their seizures and live a normal life.

Why Brain and Nerve Surgery in Turkey?

In recent years, Turkey has become a world-renowned center for brain and nerve surgery. The main reasons for this are:

• High Technology: Turkish health institutions are equipped with the latest medical technology and devices. This increases the success rate of surgical interventions and reduces the risk of complications.
• Experienced Experts: Neurosurgeons in Turkey are professionals who have received training in accordance with international standards and have extensive experience.
• Affordable Prices: Turkey offers more affordable treatment options than many Western countries. This makes high-quality healthcare more accessible.
• Comprehensive Support Services: Within the framework of health tourism, comprehensive support services are offered for patients and their families. This includes accommodation, transportation and translation services.
