Brain and Nerve Surgery (Neurosurgery)

Brain and nerve surgery (neurosurgery) is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and surgical interventions of disorders related to the brain, spinal cord and nervous system.

Purpose of Brain and Nerve Surgery

Brain and neurosurgery is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and surgical interventions of disorders related to the brain, spinal cord and nervous system. The aim of this branch of surgery is to improve the health of patients by performing surgical interventions for various targets.

Brain and nerve surgery performs surgical interventions for various targets such as removal of tumors, post-traumatic recovery, epilepsy treatment, and relief of nerve compression. Brain tumors, especially cancerous tumors, are abnormal cells that grow in the brain. Neurosurgeons use surgical methods to remove these tumors and aim to improve patients’ quality of life.

Post-traumatic recovery aims to accelerate the body’s healing process following brain and nervous system injuries. Neurosurgeons perform surgical interventions to reduce damage to injured areas and restore nerve functions.

Epilepsy treatment aims to control the seizures of epilepsy patients. Neurosurgeons perform surgical interventions to correct abnormal brain activity that causes epileptic seizures.

Relieving nerve compression aims to treat symptoms such as pain, numbness or loss of strength that occur as a result of nerve compression. Brain and neurosurgeons perform surgical interventions to relieve nerve compression and aim to improve patients’ quality of life.

Brain and neurosurgery is a surgical specialty that treats central and peripheral nervous system disorders through mechanical intervention.

At Private Duygu Hospital, services are provided in the diagnosis and treatment of brain and spinal cord diseases.

Brain surgery operations are performed using minimally invasive techniques and full endoscopic methods.

Brain and Nerve Surgery Applications

Brain and neurosurgery includes a variety of techniques used to treat many different diseases. These techniques are used effectively in the treatment of disorders such as brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and trigeminal neuralgia.

Brain tumors are abnormal cell growths that occur in the brain. Brain and neurosurgery performs surgical interventions to remove these tumors. In this way, the growth of tumors is stopped and the patient is restored to health.

Spinal cord injuries are one of the areas where brain and neurosurgery intervenes. Spinal cord injuries occur as a result of damage to the spinal cord. In such injuries, surgical interventions help repair the damage to the spinal cord and allow the patient to regain mobility.

Stroke is a condition that occurs as a result of blockage or bleeding of the brain vessels. Brain and neurosurgery performs surgical interventions to repair brain tissue damaged by stroke. In this way, patients’ quality of life is improved and the recovery process is accelerated.

Epilepsy is a neurological disease that occurs when brain cells fire abnormally. Brain and neurosurgery uses surgical interventions to treat epilepsy. In this way, the frequency and severity of epileptic seizures are reduced and the quality of life of patients is improved.

Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disease that occurs as a result of disorders in dopamine production in the brain. Brain and neurosurgery uses surgical interventions to treat Parkinson’s disease. These interventions improve patients’ mobility and improve their quality of life.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a nerve disease that causes severe pain in the face. Brain and neurosurgery uses surgical interventions to treat trigeminal neuralgia. In this way, patients’ pain is reduced and their quality of life is improved.
