Neurosurgeons specialize in treating brain, spinal cord, and nerve disorders, often through surgical procedures.
According to NCBI findings:
- There are approximately 1200 neurosurgeons in Turkey
- And 75 training clinics spanning various cities
Training and Research Hospitals associated with the Ministry of Health provide neurosurgery training, which results in better outcomes & success rates altogether.
Below we have listed the best neurosurgeons in Turkey.
Some of the procedures to treat neurological problems are:
- Lumbar puncture: A needle is inserted into the spine after it has been anesthetized, and a sample of spinal fluid is taken.
- Tensilon test: In this process a medicine called tensilon is injected to check the movement of muscles.
- Electromyography (EMG): To test your nerves and record the electrical activity in your muscles, tiny needles are inserted into your muscles.
- Electroencephalogram (EEG): Electrodes will be implanted on your scalp to monitor your brain's electrical activity.
- computed tomography, or CT scan: To obtain detailed images of the inside of the body, a technology is used by the combination of X-ray and computer imaging.
- magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI scan: It takes photos of the inside of brain using magnetic imaging and radio waves so that neurosurgeons can easily identify the swelling of the brain.
- positron emission tomography, or PET scan:
- Transcranial doppler (TCD): It uses sound waves to measure the flow of blood rate into the brain.
