Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurology, Neurosurgery
Specialized in: adult and pediatric neurology, neurosurgery About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurology, Neurosurgery at Acibadem Healthcare Group Istanbul
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurology, Neurosurgery at the Acibadem Healthcare Group provides the comprehensive diagnostics, conservative and surgical treatment of the full range of diseases of the nervous diseases. The department's doctors have vast experience in the treatment of particularly complex clinical cases in neurology. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Koray Özduman.
The department deals with the treatment of patients of all age groups. The clinical practice is based on a multidisciplinary approach and the use of the very latest therapeutic techniques. The department is considered one of the leading Neurosurgery Centers worldwide. The department's specialists perform many successful operations to treat meningiomas, chordomas, schwannomas, aneurysms, arteriovenous and cavernous malformations.
The department's neurosurgeons use the very latest technologies for the treatment of adults and children with neurological and neurosurgical diseases. These include 3 Tesla MRI, which facilitates the total removal of the tumor, reduces the frequency of follow-up interventions and minimizes side effects caused by the operation. In addition, the department has innovative Gamma Knife Perfexion (Gamma Knife) system, which is used for the treatment of brain tumors. This system has a number of advantages, such as the higher accuracy and efficiency, minimal damage to the healthy brain tissues, no need for rehabilitation measures, no incisions on the head. The patient can return home already on the day of treatment.
