Neurosurgical intervention is preceded by diagnostics using the most modern equipment, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, angiography, and other diagnostic studies. Surgical interventions are performed in operating rooms equipped with the latest technology. Neurosurgeons successfully use advanced neuronavigation systems, neuromonitoring, CUSA ultrasonic surgical apparatus, O-arm intraoperative computed tomography, radiosurgical systems for stereotaxic interventions and many other innovations. This allows doctors to perform interventions with maximum safety and exclude damage to vital structures of the brain and spinal cord. The department employs specialists with excellent qualifications and vast clinical experience, which they have acquired in the best medical institutions in Turkey, Europe and the USA.
