Brain and Nerve Surgery

Microsurgery Revolution in Lumbar and Neck Hernia

Understanding Hernia Disease: Lumbar and neck hernias occur as a result of the rupture of the discs that support our spine and overflow into the nerve canal. This condition can lead not only to severe pain, but to permanent nerve damage and loss of strength (paralysis) when left untreated. The inactivity and incorrect posture habits that modern life brings today are the biggest factors that trigger this problem.

Microdiscectomy: Small Incision, Microsurgical method is applied which is considered the 'gold standard' in lumbar and neck hernia surgery at our Great Comfort Hospital. Unlike traditional open surgery, with microsurgery, nerve tissues are examined by enlarging 20-40 times under high-resolution microscopes.

Minimally Invasive Approach: The operation is carried out only through a small incision of 1.5-2 centimeters. This means the preservation of muscle tissue and the reduction of postoperative pain to a minimum.

Maximum Security: Since the nerve roots are clearly visible, the risk of complications is negligible.

Rapid Discharge Process: Our patients usually get up 6 hours after surgery and can return home the next day.

Brain Tumor Surgery and Oncological Approaches

Precise Intervention: Neuronavigation and Monitoring Surgical treatment of brain tumors is a process without even a millimeter margin of error. The advanced technology infrastructure in our hospital is designed to prevent the surgeon from damaging healthy brain tissue while removing the tumor.

• Neuronavigation: It works like a GPS system that guides the surgeon through the brain during surgery. It helps us to accurately determine the boundaries of the tumor.
• Neuromonitoring: During the operation, the patient's motor and sensory functions are monitored instantly. This technology is vital to minimize the risk of stroke, especially in tumors in critical areas.

Treatment Process and After Surgery in benign tumors usually provides the definitive solution, while in malignant tumors the postoperative process is carried out in coordination with our oncology unit. Our goal is to maximally remove the tumor from the body without compromising the patient's quality of life.

Closed (Endoscopic) Pituitary Surgery and Cushing's Disease

Brain Surgery Without Opening the Skull: The pituitary gland is a critical structure located just behind the nasal cavity and manages the entire hormone balance of the body. Adenomas (tumors) that develop here can lead to loss of vision, uncontrolled weight gain, and hormonal disorders.

• Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Approach: Today, these operations are performed without opening the skull, but through the nostrils. When viewed from the outside, no scars or stitches are visible.
• Cushing's diseaseTreatment: In Cushing's disease, which develops due to excessive cortisol production, complete removal of millimeter adenomas is the only way to restore the patient's health. Our experienced surgical team intervenes with high success in these sensitive areas.

Spinal Tumors and Narrow Canal (Stenosis) Surgery

Next-Generation Solutions in Spine Health: Spinal canal narrowing (narrow canal) and spinal cord tumors cause shorter walking distance and severe drowsiness, especially with age. In our hospital, these complex cases are treated with neuroprotective surgical techniques.

• Narrow Canal Treatment: The pressure on the spinal cord is removed by decompression techniques. If necessary, the spine is stabilized by high-tech screw systems (platinum)
• Spinal Cord Tumors: Tumors originating from within or surrounding membranes of the spinal cord are meticulously dissected under a microscope.

Pain Management and Neural Therapy: In cases of pain that does not require surgery or chronic, neural therapy and nerve blockades applied in our hospital are aimed at improving the quality of life of patients without medication.
