Brain and Nerve Surgery (Neurosurgery) in Turkey ? Advanced Treatments for the Nervous System

Introduction

Brain and Nerve Surgery, also known as Neurosurgery, is a highly specialized medical discipline that deals with the diagnosis, surgical, and non-surgical treatment of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and surrounding blood vessels. This field provides life-saving interventions for conditions such as vascular occlusions, brain hemorrhages, tumors, herniated discs, trauma, and congenital neurological disorders in both adults and children.

At SkyUp Health, we collaborate with Turkey?s leading neurosurgeons, neurologists, and advanced hospitals equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Our goal is to ensure that every patient receives timely, effective, and safe neurosurgical care.

Conditions Treated in Brain and Nerve Surgery

1. Cerebral Hemorrhages

A cerebral hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, leading to internal bleeding. Causes include trauma, accidents, high blood pressure, or spontaneous rupture.

• Symptoms: Sudden severe headache, vomiting, weakness, loss of consciousness.
  
  
• Treatment: Emergency neurosurgery to stop bleeding, relieve pressure, and prevent brain damage.
  
  

2. Brain Tumors

Brain tumors can be benign or malignant (cancerous), but both can significantly impact brain function.

• Symptoms: Persistent headaches, nausea, memory loss, seizures, visual problems, loss of balance.
  
  
• Treatment: Microsurgery, radiosurgery (Gamma Knife), chemotherapy, or endoscopic brain surgery depending on tumor type and location.
  
  

3. Cerebrovascular Diseases

These include conditions that affect blood flow in the brain, such as:

• Stroke ; Embolism
  
  
• Carotid Artery Stenosis
  
  
• Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs)
  
  

Modern treatments include endovascular surgery (stent placement, embolization) and clot removal (thrombectomy), performed with minimally invasive methods.

4. Spine Disorders

Spinal diseases can occur due to trauma, aging, or degenerative changes.

• Common conditions: Herniated disc, cervical disc hernia, scoliosis, kyphosis, spine tumors, infections.
  
  
• Symptoms: Back or neck pain, chronic numbness, limited mobility, weakness in arms or legs.
  
  
• Treatment: Minimally invasive spine surgery, microsurgery, robotic spine surgery, and spinal implants.
  
  

5. Stroke (Cerebrovascular Accident)

A stroke happens when blood supply to the brain is interrupted.

• Symptoms: Sudden weakness in one side, speech difficulty, loss of balance, vision disturbances.
  
  
• Treatment: Early intervention with clot-busting drugs, endovascular thrombectomy, or decompression surgery saves lives and reduces permanent disability.
  
  

6. Head ; Spine Trauma

Accidents, sports injuries, and falls can cause traumatic brain and spinal injuries requiring urgent neurosurgical care.

• Treatments include emergency craniotomy, spine stabilization, and intensive neurocritical care.
  
  

7. Pediatric Neurosurgery

Children may suffer from congenital or acquired neurological disorders.

• Conditions treated: Hydrocephalus, epilepsy, brain tumors, spinal cord defects, vascular malformations, skull deformities.
  
  
• Treatment: Minimally invasive shunt surgery, craniofacial reconstruction, and advanced pediatric neurosurgery.
  
  

Modern Neurosurgical Technologies in Turkey

Turkey is at the forefront of neurosurgical innovations, using cutting-edge technologies:

• Microsurgery: High-precision operations using surgical microscopes.
  
  
• Gamma Knife Radiosurgery: Non-invasive radiation therapy for brain tumors and AVMs.
  
  
• Endovascular Neurosurgery: Minimally invasive catheter-based treatment for strokes and aneurysms.
  
  
• Robotic Spine Surgery: Enhanced accuracy in spinal implant placement.
  
  
• Intraoperative MRI ; Navigation Systems: Real-time imaging during brain and spine surgeries.
  
  
• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Advanced treatment for Parkinson?s disease and movement disorders.
