Brain Surgery
Neurosurgery, in other words, is the treatment of brain and nerve diseases, tumors originating from or pressing on the brain and spinal cord tissue, as well as head and spinal cord injuries, cerebrovascular occlusions and cerebral hemorrhages, especially waist and neck hernias, and those that occur in the vessels feeding the brain and spinal cord. It is a branch of science that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as aneurysms. It is the section that surgically intervenes in diseases that affect many vital functions such as narrowing of the neck vessels and diseases that develop during the formation of the nervous system in newborns, epilepsy that does not respond to drug treatment, and selected Parkinson’s cases.
Diseases seen in both adult and pediatric patient groups are diagnosed and treated in the neurology clinic. Doctors who are experts in neurosurgery, where necessary diagnosis and treatment methods are applied by working with neurology, neuroradiology, and neuroanesthesia departments, are called neurosurgeons or neurosurgeons. Physicians working in the field of science, where many high-tech devices are used during surgical and micro-surgical procedures, receive five or six years of specialization training after 6 years of medical school education.
The neurosurgery department treats a variety of diseases.
Some of these:
- Surgical treatment of brain tumors (microsurgical removal of brain tumor, etc.)
- Surgical treatment of brain and nervous system vascular diseases (aneurysm clipping, etc.)
- Bleeding
- Aneurysm
- Arteriovenous malformation (vein ball)
- Surgical treatment of diseases related to brain and nervous system traumas (bleeding, etc.)
- Bleeding
- Surgical treatment of congenital and childhood nervous system diseases (shunt insertion, etc.)
- Hydrocephalus
- Tense spinal cord syndrome
- Spinal dysraphism (meningomyelocele, etc.)
- Lumbar and neck spine surgery (microdiscectomy, etc.)
- Waist and neck hernias
- Tumors involving the spinal cord and spine
- Surgical treatment of diseases related to spinal trauma (kyphoplasty, etc.)
- spine fracture
- Spinal slippage
- Peripheral nervous system surgery (nerve release, etc.)
- Nerve compressions
- Nerve tumors
- Traumatic nerve cuts
- Pain management (Transforaminal steroid injection, etc.)
- Pain due to spine and spinal cord diseases
- Pain in arms and legs
- Coccyx pains
