FOR PATIENTS

Neurosurgery covers a very wide range of areas, including cerebrovascular disorders, brain tumors, spinal cord, pediatric neurosurgery such as congenital malformations, functional neurosurgery such as epilepsy, head trauma, and inflammatory diseases. Neurosurgery is a basic department, and its scope of practice is not limited to surgery alone, but covers all aspects of the treatment of cerebrospinal disorders, including diagnosis, treatment, and pre- and postoperative management. This is a major difference from other surgical specialties, such as cardiovascular surgery and gastrointestinal surgery, which are not basic departments, where the surgeon focuses exclusively on surgical treatment and leaves the diagnosis and postoperative stable period management to cardiology and gastrointestinal medicine.
In other words, neurosurgery is characterized by a long relationship with patients from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up.
