What is Brain and Nerve Surgery (Neurosurgery)?
It is a field specializing in various topics such as tumor surgery, stroke treatment, epilepsy surgery, spinal cord surgery, nerve compression correction. These specialists evaluate various diseases, lesions or anomalies in the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and other nervous system components and treat them by surgical methods.
Neurosurgery includes surgical intervention of a number of complex neurological problems, such as tumor surgery, stroke treatment, epilepsy surgery, spinal cord surgery, correction of nerve compression. Neurosurgery is a multidisciplinary specialty that performs various surgical procedures in order to improve the nervous system health of patients and improve the quality of life.
General and Complex Surgical Applications Performed in the Clinic;
Diagnosis and treatment of brain and nervous system diseases observed in both adult and pediatric patient groups are performed at Liv Hospital Brain and Neurosurgery Clinic. In our clinic; advanced applications requiring high technology and experience are also performed flawlessly;
- Disc hernias, degenerative spinal diseases
- Peripheral nerve surgery
- Congenital malformations
- Surgical treatment of complex brain and spinal cord tumors
- Surgical treatments for vascular malformations such as aneurysms, cavernomas and arteriovenous malformations
- Surgical treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, tremor and dystonia and advanced surgical applications for epilepsy are performed.
Best Treatment with the Oncology Council
In Liv Hospital Brain and Neurosurgery Clinic; histopathological evaluations are examined microscopically and immunohistochemical panels consisting of 9-14 subunits are applied. The results are discussed at weekly tumor councils with neurosurgery, oncology, neuroradiology and pathology specialists. In this way, the ideal treatment scheme is created after the patient's surgery; it is determined whether they need additional treatment methods such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. At the council, cases are approached from a multidisciplinary point of view. Physicians apply personalized treatments to their cases.
High Success in Complex Diseases
Considering the quality and level of difficulty, most of the operations performed are caused by diseases such as complex brain and spinal cord tumors, aneurysms, hemifacial spasms, trigeminal neuralgia, parkinson's and dystonia. In addition to these, approaches for diseases involved in the practice of general neurosurgery (brain and neurosurgery) are also carried out. In Liv Hospital Neurosurgery Clinic, the infection and complication rate in the specialized neurosurgeries performed last year was established as 0 percent.
Superior Equipment
In our clinic, the risk of loss of neurological function is minimized by electrophysiological monitoring in necessary cases. All cranial cases are monitored on the first day after the operation with the joint approach of neurosurgery and intensive care team in the intensive care unit, which is arranged as isolated rooms with one bed. Usually, the patient is transferred to their room the next day and discharged at the safest and most correct period for them.
Experienced Team
In most cases, blood transfusion was not required during or after surgery. Experienced teamwork and advanced technological equipment play an important role in the achievement of these results.
Cooperation with the Pediatrics Clinic
The pediatrics department of our hospital plays a primary active role in the preoperative evaluation of pediatric patients and postoperative follow-up, and patients are followed up with pediatrics specialists as long as they are hospitalized.
Liv Hospital Brain and Neurosurgery Clinic provides high-quality and safe health care services with world-class equipment with its expert staff and technological infrastructure required by complex surgeries.
