Neurosurgery and Brain Surgery at Cosmeticare Clinic
Neurosurgery at Cosmeticare Clinic covers surgical care for the brain, spinal cord, spine, and the cranial and peripheral nerve network. Our department evaluates injuries and diseases across the nervous system and builds a precise, stepwise plan for each patient. Istanbul offers a well-connected setting for international travel and coordinated follow-up, while our teams in Turkey uphold strict clinical governance and transparent communication.
What neurosurgery means at our clinic
Neurosurgery and brain surgery is a highly specialized branches of surgery. It extends well beyond brain tumor treatment to include skull base surgery, functional procedures, complex spine surgery, and peripheral nerve operations. With continued advances in operative microscopes, neuronavigation, imaging, and anesthesia, we provide minimally invasive surgery where appropriate, aiming for smaller incisions, lower complication risk, and quicker return to activities.
Our department brings together neurosurgeons, radiologists, anesthesiologists, intensive care specialists, and rehabilitation professionals. We operate in modern theaters supported by CT and MRI, radiology suites, 24/7 emergency services, and dedicated ICU facilities to ensure timely intervention for urgent cases.
Branches and clinical focus areas
- General Neurosurgery
- Vascular Neurosurgery for aneurysms and vascular malformations
- Functional Neurosurgery for select movement disorders and epilepsy
- Tumor Neurosurgery, including primary and metastatic brain tumor care
- Skull Base Neurosurgery, including pituitary and complex lesions
- Stereotactic Brain Surgery for targeted biopsies and precise interventions
- Spine and Spinal Cord Neurosurgery for herniated disc, stenosis, deformity, and instability
- Peripheral Nerve Surgery for compression and traumatic injury
- Pediatric Neurosurgery for congenital and acquired conditions
- Interventional Radiology for Neurology in collaborative pathways
- Neurocritical Care for comprehensive perioperative monitoring
Common conditions and procedures
- Brain tumors: evaluation with advanced imaging, tailored tumor resection using microsurgery or radiosurgical options when indicated. Planning considers location, pathology, and functional mapping to protect healthy brain tissue.
- Spinal cord tumors: management ranges from observation to surgery and adjuvant therapies based on symptoms and tumor type. Goals include decompression, stability, and neurological preservation.
- Spine disease: microsurgical and endoscopic techniques for lumbar disc herniation and cervical disc herniation; stabilization and deformity correction where required. Rehabilitation is coordinated with Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation teams.
- Pediatric brain and nerve disease: treatment of tumors, vascular conditions, and hydrocephalus with age‑appropriate protocols.
- Trauma and urgent care: rapid response to head trauma and spinal trauma, including clot evacuation, skull fracture repair, and measures to relieve intracranial pressure. Stroke pathways enable immediate assessment and intervention.
- Functional indications: deep brain stimulation for select Parkinson’s disease cases, selective dorsal rhizotomy for spastic cerebral palsy when indicated, and epilepsy surgery after multidisciplinary evaluation.
Technologies we use
- Intraoperative CT (O‑Arm): real‑time three‑dimensional imaging, especially for spinal fixation, supporting accurate implant placement with minimal exposure and smaller incisions.
- Neuronavigation: integration of preoperative MRI to guide precise approaches for brain surgery, biopsies, spinal procedures, and functional targets, helping safeguard healthy tissue.
- Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM): continuous feedback on neural pathway integrity during tumor, vascular, and complex spine operations to reduce risk of deficits.
- Intraoperative Ultrasound (IOUS): intraoperative localization and resection assessment for brain and spinal cord tumors, improving confidence in tumor removal.
- Neuroendoscopy: wide visualization through small corridors for pituitary and intraventricular lesions, hydrocephalus procedures, and select spine cases.
- Gamma Knife: radiosurgical option for defined intracranial targets when appropriate.
- Gliolan staining technique: fluorescence‑guided resection that helps distinguish tumor from normal brain to limit collateral injury.
- Awake craniotomy: used selectively for lesions near motor or language areas to monitor speech and movement during surgery, enhancing functional preservation.
Benefits and advantages
- Multidisciplinary planning with imaging‑guided precision
- Minimally invasive surgery options to reduce tissue disruption and support faster mobilization
- 24/7 operative readiness for urgent cases with ICU support
- Clear pathways for international patients, from medical records review to postoperative follow‑up
- Accessible care with competitive prices while maintaining quality and safety
All medical services are performed under strict legal and ethical standards in Turkey. Our teams at Cosmeticare Clinic maintain evidence‑based protocols and a patient‑first approach in Istanbul.
