Brain tumours are abnormal growths of cells in the brain. Treatment can include surgery to remove the tumour, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the type and stage of the tumour. As a neurosurgeon in Turkey, I specialize in the surgical removal of tumours while ensuring minimal impact on brain function.
Spinal tumours can be either benign or malignant. Treatment options vary from observation for benign tumours to surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy for malignant tumours, based on the tumour’s size, location, and type, as well as the patient’s overall health.
Brain vascular diseases include conditions like stroke, aneurysms, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). These conditions can lead to significant neurological deficits or life-threatening situations. Treatment might involve medication, surgery, or endovascular procedures to restore normal blood flow and prevent further damage.
A child should be taken to a paediatric neurosurgery in istanbul specialist if there are concerns about neurological development, head shape abnormalities, or if the child has symptoms suggesting a neurological disorder. There is no specific age; it depends on the symptoms and concerns.
Signs of spine disease include persistent back or neck pain, numbness or weakness in the limbs, and difficulty walking. If these symptoms persist or affect your quality of life, consulting a neurosurgeon in Istanbul for a comprehensive evaluation is advisable.
Neurosurgeons use advanced technologies like MRI and CT scans for diagnosis, and techniques like microsurgery, endoscopic surgery, and stereotactic radiosurgery for treatment, ensuring precision and minimizing risk.
Practicing neurosurgery in Turkey involves dealing with a diverse patient population and often includes handling complex cases. Turkey’s investment in healthcare infrastructure and technology also allows neurosurgeons to utilize cutting-edge treatments and techniques.
Consulting a neurosurgeon for spinal surgery means accessing world-class medical facilities, experienced surgeons, and advanced surgical technologies, all contributing to high success rates and improved patient outcomes.
During the first visit, patients can expect a thorough evaluation, including a review of medical history, physical examination, and possibly ordering imaging studies. This helps in diagnosing the condition and discussing potential treatment options.
Our clinic offers the latest in spinal tumour treatment, including minimally invasive surgical techniques, targeted radiation therapy, and advanced chemotherapy options, tailored to each patient’s specific condition and needs.
The best course of treatment for brain vascular diseases is determined by considering the type and severity of the condition, the patient’s overall health, and the potential risks and benefits of the treatment options, which may include medication, surgery, or endovascular procedures.
Post-operative care for paediatric neurosurgery patients includes close monitoring, pain management, physical therapy, and rehabilitation to ensure a smooth recovery and to address any neurological deficits that may arise.
Many spine diseases can be treated with minimally invasive surgery, which offers advantages such as smaller incisions, less pain, reduced risk of infection, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
14. What are the risks and success rates associated with neurosurgical procedures for brain tumours?
The risks of neurosurgical procedures for brain tumours include infection, bleeding, and neurological damage, but the success rates are high, especially with early detection and the use of advanced surgical techniques.
Staying updated with the latest advancements involves attending medical conferences, participating in professional networks, reviewing leading medical journals, and engaging in continuous education. This commitment ensures that patients receive the most advanced and effective treatments available.
16. What are the challenges in treating complex brain vascular diseases, and how are they addressed?
The challenges in treating complex brain vascular diseases include the risk of damaging critical brain areas and the potential for post-treatment complications. These are addressed through careful planning, using advanced imaging techniques for precise interventions, and multidisciplinary teams to manage and mitigate risks.
Our paediatric neurosurgery in turkey approach is unique due to our emphasis on family-centered care, use of child-specific medical equipment and techniques, and a multidisciplinary team that includes paediatric specialists to ensure the comprehensive well-being of our young patients.
Common symptoms of spine diseases include chronic back or neck pain, sciatica, numbness or weakness in the limbs, and loss of coordination. Diagnosis typically involves physical examination, patient history, and imaging tests like MRI or CT scans to accurately identify the underlying condition.
Choosing a highly experienced neurosurgeon is crucial for complex neurosurgical procedures due to the need for precise surgical skills, in-depth knowledge of neurological conditions, and the ability to handle unexpected challenges during surgery, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients.
