Brain and Nerve Surgery
HEALTH APPLICATIONS
Brain and neurosurgery is a branch of medicine that provides surgical treatment of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and surrounding tissues. Private Jimer Hospital Brain and Neurosurgery Department provides comprehensive healthcare services to our patients using advanced technologies in the surgical treatment of neurological diseases. Brain and neurosurgery is performed to prevent neurological disorders from negatively affecting the quality of life and to ensure that patients regain their health.
What Diseases Does Brain and Nerve Surgery Deal With?
The Department of Brain and Nerve Surgery deals with the diagnosis and treatment of many different diseases affecting the central and peripheral nervous system. The most common neurosurgical diseases include:
- **Brain Tumors**: Brain tumors occur when cells in the brain grow abnormally. Surgical treatment of brain tumors is planned depending on the type, location and size of the tumor. Surgical intervention is performed to completely remove the tumor or reduce the pressure.
- **Spine and Spinal Cord Diseases**: Conditions such as spinal fractures, spinal cord compressions, lumbar and cervical disc herniations fall within the scope of brain and neurosurgery. Such diseases can cause pain and limited movement by putting pressure on the nerve roots. Surgical intervention relieves the pressure on the nerves and provides relief for the patient.
- **Brain Hemorrhages and Traumas**: Conditions such as head trauma, brain hemorrhage or increased intracranial pressure may require emergency surgical intervention. Brain surgery is performed to prevent life-threatening complications in such cases.
- **Aneurysm and Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)**: Conditions resulting from ballooning of the brain vessels (aneurysm) or abnormal connections in the vascular structure (AVM) increase the risk of brain hemorrhage. Surgical treatment is performed by closing the aneurysm or AVM.
- **Peripheral Nerve Diseases**: Nerve compressions such as carpal tunnel syndrome may require surgical treatment of the peripheral nerves. Such surgeries are performed to relieve the pressure on the nerve and relieve the patient's symptoms.
Methods Applied in Brain and Nerve Surgery
Surgical methods used in brain and neurosurgery vary depending on the type, location and severity of the disease. Private Jimer Hospital Brain and Neurosurgery Department determines the most appropriate surgical method and provides the best treatment service to our patients:
- **Microsurgery**: In brain and neurosurgery, microsurgical techniques are used in the treatment of tumors and vascular diseases, especially in sensitive areas. This method allows the surgery to be performed more precisely and reduces the risk of complications.
- **Endoscopic Surgery**: Endoscopic surgery, one of the minimally invasive methods in brain and neurosurgery, is a procedure performed with small incisions. This method shortens the patient's recovery time and reduces the risk of post-operative complications.
- **Spinal Surgery**: Spinal surgery methods are applied in the treatment of spine and spinal cord diseases. Spinal surgery is used to relieve pressure on the nerve roots in the treatment of conditions such as herniated discs, cervical disc herniations and spinal fractures.
- **Craniotomy**: A surgical procedure performed to access the brain. A craniotomy is used to remove brain tumors, stop brain hemorrhages, or treat other brain disorders.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation and Care
After brain and nerve surgery, postoperative care and rehabilitation are of great importance for the successful completion of the recovery process of patients. At Özel Jimer Hospital, our patients are closely monitored in the intensive care unit after surgery and all necessary supportive treatments are applied.
The rehabilitation process helps the patient regain their mobility after surgery and return to daily life activities. Our physiotherapists contribute to the recovery process by creating appropriate exercise programs for our patients.
Recommendations for Maintaining Nervous System Health
Maintaining nervous system health is of great importance in preventing neurological diseases and improving quality of life. Here are some recommendations to consider to protect nervous system health:
- **Balanced Nutrition**: A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and B vitamins should be preferred to protect brain health.
- **Regular Exercise**: Regular physical activity increases blood flow to the brain and supports nervous system health. Activities such as walking, yoga and swimming are beneficial.
- **Stress Management**: Chronic stress can have negative effects on the nervous system. Methods such as meditation, relaxation techniques and breathing exercises can be applied to cope with stress.
- **Avoiding Accidents and Traumas**: Precautions such as wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle or motorcycle and using seat belts in vehicles should be taken to protect against head trauma.
