Stereotaxic surgery is a precise, minimally invasive technique. It targets deep brain or spinal structures with sub-millimetre accuracy. In Turkey, specialists treat movement disorders, brain tumours, and functional conditions like epilepsy or trigeminal neuralgia. They use radiosurgery, deep brain stimulation, and image-guided biopsies.
- Targeted conditions: Treats Parkinson’s, tremors, dystonia, brain metastases, pituitary adenomas, and arteriovenous malformations.
- Technologies: Clinics use Gamma Knife, CyberKnife, and MR-guided focused ultrasound for non-invasive treatment.
- Clinical expertise: Centres like Medipol Mega serve 1,000,000+ patients annually with specialised movement disorder units.
- Surgical precision: Surgeons like Dr Atilla Yilmaz have performed 800+ neuromodulation and stereotactic procedures.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish neurosurgery hubs offer a distinct advantage by combining diagnostic biopsy and frozen pathology in a single session. Hisar Hospital Intercontinental provides this for around A$4,500. This rapid workflow allows surgeons to confirm tumour types immediately. They can adjust the surgical plan while the patient is in theatre.
Patient Consensus: Patients find Turkey offers highly targeted, image-guided alternatives to open surgery. They report successful outcomes for trigeminal neuralgia and brain tumours. They use non-invasive options like CyberKnife when medications fail.
