Neurological Surgery

What is Neurological Surgery?

Neurological Surgery is a branch of medicine that involves the surgical treatment of diseases of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system. Neurosurgeons are competent in the treatment of neurological problems such as tumors, aneurysms, disc herniations, spinal deformities and traumas. Surgical interventions in this field are performed to improve the quality of life of patients and eliminate serious health problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does brain tumor surgery take and what are the risks?
The duration of brain tumor surgery depends on the size and location of the tumor. The surgery usually takes 4-8 hours. Risks may include infection, bleeding and loss of neurological function, but these risks are minimized by our experienced surgeons.

What is the recovery process after disc herniation surgery?
The recovery process after disc herniation surgery varies from patient to patient. Patients can usually return to their daily activities within 4-6 weeks. Physical therapy and rehabilitation can accelerate the recovery process.

What is deep brain stimulation (DBS) and to whom is it applied?
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical method used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, dystonia and other movement disorders. Electrodes implanted in the brain regulate abnormal nerve signals. This method is effective in patients who do not respond to medication.
