Major Neurosurgery Areas and Treatments:

1. Brain Tumor Surgery

• Gliomas (Astrocytoma, Glioblastoma, etc.)

• Meningiomas

• Pituitary Adenomas: Typically removed via endoscopic transsphenoidal (through the nose) approaches.

• Acoustic Neuromas (Vestibular Schwannoma)

• Metastatic Brain Tumors (Spread from other organs)

• Pediatric Brain Tumors (Medulloblastoma, Ependymoma, etc.)

2. Cerebrovascular (Brain Vessel) Disease Surgery

• Brain Aneurysm Clipping or Endovascular Treatment (Coiling): Intervention before rupture.

• Surgery for Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM) and Cavernomas

• Brain Hemorrhage (Hematoma) Surgery: Due to hypertension, trauma, or aneurysm rupture.

• Carotid Artery Stenosis Surgery (Endarterectomy)

3. Spine and Spinal Cord Surgery

• Herniated Discs (Lumbar and Cervical): Microsurgical or endoscopic discectomy.

• Spinal Stenosis Surgery: Laminectomy, foraminotomy.

• Spinal Deformities: Surgical correction of scoliosis, kyphosis.

• Spinal Tumors and Metastases: Tumor removal along with stabilization (plates/screws).

• Spinal Trauma and Fractures: Stabilization and fusion surgeries.

• Spinal Instrumentation: Fixation of the spine with plate-screw systems.

4. Functional Neurosurgery

• Movement Disorders: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS – Brain Pacemaker) for Parkinson’s disease, tremor, dystonia.

• Epilepsy Surgery: Removal or disconnection of the epileptic focus in medication-resistant epilepsy.

• Chronic Pain Surgery: Microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia, spinal cord stimulator implantation.

5. Peripheral Nerve Surgery

• Decompression of nerve entrapments like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Cubital Tunnel Syndrome.

• Repair of traumatic nerve injuries or grafting.

6. Cranial and Spinal Trauma Surgery

• Evacuation of epidural/subdural/parenchymal hematomas to reduce intracranial pressure, craniectomy.

• Repair of skull and spinal fractures.

7. Pediatric Neurosurgery

• Shunt surgeries for Hydrocephalus.

• Correction of Craniosynostosis.

• Pediatric brain and spinal cord tumors, congenital spinal anomalies (spina bifida, meningomyelocele).

Your Neurosurgery Process with Need Health:

• Detailed Pre-Evaluation: Your medical records and current imaging (MRI, CT, Angio) are meticulously reviewed by our experienced neurosurgeon in Turkey. Additional tests are promptly arranged if needed.

• Multidisciplinary Consultation: The surgical decision is discussed by a council including neuroradiologists, neurologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists, and anesthesiologists. The most suitable treatment plan (surgery, radiosurgery, interventional neuroradiology, or a combination) tailored to your goals and health condition is determined.

• Advanced Technology Surgery: Your surgeries are performed in centers equipped with the latest technological capabilities, including neuronavigation (brain GPS), intraoperative neuromonitoring, intraoperative MRI/Ultrasound, microscopic and endoscopic techniques, and robotic surgery. These technologies enhance safety by enabling maximum tumor removal while preserving healthy tissue.

• Intensive Care and Specialized Rehabilitation: You are closely monitored in neurological intensive care units post-operatively. If needed, an early physical therapy and rehabilitation process is initiated.

• Comprehensive Patient Care: Throughout your entire medical journey and during your stay in Turkey, all logistical support for your comfort and safety is provided by Need Health.

Your brain and spinal cord health are central to your life. Need Health acts as a professional bridge to provide you with safe access to world-standard surgical excellence and treatment options in this delicate field.
