Neurology

You will meet the neurologist.
A comprehensive physical examination is performed to determine neurological function
Depending on the results of the initial assessment, the neurologist may request special diagnostic tests such as blood tests, imaging studies (such as MRI or CT scans), electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG).

After reviewing the medical history and test results, the neurologist will make a diagnosis and discuss it with you.
Based on the diagnosis, the neurologist will outline the treatment options available, such as medication, lifestyle changes, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy.
In some cases, the neurologist may refer the patient to other specialists.
The neurologist will schedule regular follow-up appointments.
If necessary, a neurosurgeon who will perform the procedure continues the process.

Care after neurosurgery is very important to ensure a successful recovery and minimise complications. Postoperative care instructions will vary depending on the type of surgery performed, but there are some general considerations to take into account.
After surgery, patients usually spend some time in hospital for monitoring and recovery. Medications will be prescribed to manage pain, prevent infections and address certain conditions or symptoms related to the surgery. Proper care of the surgical incision is essential, including keeping it clean and following dressing instructions. Activity restrictions may be recommended and it is important to adhere to these restrictions to promote healing.
Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. Rehabilitation or physiotherapy may be recommended to regain strength and function. Self-care practices such as maintaining a healthy diet, managing pain, getting adequate rest and making necessary lifestyle changes can support recovery. It is important to recognise signs of complications such as increased pain, swelling or fever and concerns should be reported to the healthcare provider immediately.
We will also follow the process as MedClinics. We will provide you with a consultation for one year. If you have any questions, you can contact our team members 24/7.

Recovery time after neurosurgery can vary considerably. The immediate postoperative period includes hospitalisation for a few days to a week. Superficial healing of the incision site usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks, but complete healing of the incision and underlying tissues may take several weeks to several months. Pain management is an important aspect of recovery, and while acute post-operative pain improves significantly within the first few weeks, complete pain relief can take several weeks to several months.
Physical recovery can typically range from several weeks to several months, depending on the specific surgery and the need for physical therapy or rehabilitation. Neurological recovery is highly individualised and can continue for a long period of time, taking weeks to months for the nervous system to adapt and recover.

Neurology is the study and medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the nervous system. It is related to the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

A neurological examination involves a series of tests and assessments to evaluate the function of the nervous system. It includes assessing the patient’s medical history, performing a physical examination to test reflexes, muscle strength, coordination and sensation. Cognitive function and cranial nerves are also assessed. Depending on the findings, additional tests such as imaging or blood tests may be ordered. The examination helps to identify abnormalities, directs further investigations and informs treatment decisions.

Neurology involves diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of the nervous system. Neurologists perform examinations, order tests, and develop treatment plans for conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and more. They work closely with other healthcare professionals and conduct research to advance understanding and treatment options.

Neurosurgery is performed by skilled neurosurgeons using advanced techniques and equipment. It typically involves making an incision, accessing the targeted area in the brain or spine, performing the necessary surgical intervention and then closing the incision. The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and the patient receives post-operative care to ensure proper recovery. The specific procedures and techniques vary depending on the condition being treated.

Neurosurgery is worth because it can effectively treat serious neurological conditions, improve quality of life, preserve or restore neurological function, utilise advanced diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, apply a multidisciplinary approach and take advantage of advances in technology and techniques. The decision to undergo neurosurgery should be made in consultation with a neurosurgeon, weighing the potential benefits and risks according to individual circumstances.

The most common reasons for neurosurgery include brain tumors, spinal disorders, stroke, hydrocephalus, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, aneurysms and vascular malformations, and movement disorders.

Neurosurgeons diagnose and treat conditions of the nervous system through complex surgical procedures. They develop treatment plans, collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, perform surgeries, and provide postoperative care. Their goal is to alleviate symptoms, restore function, and improve the overall well-being of patients with neurological conditions.

The United States, Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Japan, and Turkey are among the best countries for neurosurgery due to their advanced medical facilities, highly trained neurosurgeons, and excellent standards of care.

Neurosurgery carries some risks, but is generally considered safe due to advances in surgical techniques and care. Neurosurgeons are highly trained to minimise risks and ensure patient safety.

The success rate of neurosurgery varies greatly depending on the procedure and the specific circumstances. However, overall success rates for neurosurgical procedures can range from 70% to 90% or higher.
