BRAIN SURGERY IN TURKEY
ENDA Health Brain Surgery — gentle precision & a true second opinion
At ENDA Health you gain access to Turkiye’s leading brain-surgery centres and a multidisciplinary re-evaluation (neurosurgeon + neurologist + neuroradiologist + anaesthetist + pain/rehab specialist). Many patients arrive with a scheduled operation; after refined diagnostics and board review we can often choose an organ-preserving or minimally invasive pathway and avoid an open operation — strictly under international guidelines with full risk control.
Non-surgical/minimally invasive options we consider (by indication):
■ Targeted conservative therapy (NSAIDs/steroids, neuroprotection, anti-seizure regimens, anti-oedema protocols).
■ Interventional neuroradiology: embolisation of aneurysms/AVMs, vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty, selective root blocks.
■ Radiosurgery (Gamma Knife/CyberKnife) for selected tumours, metastases, trigeminal neuralgia.
■ Physical medicine & rehabilitation: decompressive methods without incision, neuromuscular training, orthotics.
■ “Deferred surgery with dynamic surveillance” when this is the safest and best-justified course.
Our principle is simple: precise diagnosis and the least-invasive sound tactic first — then only those interventions that truly improve prognosis and quality of life.
Specialties & methods — from microneurosurgery to robotic radiosurgery
We cover the full spectrum of adult and paediatric brain surgery. Every plan is individual, aligned to anatomy, symptoms and lifestyle.
Spine & spinal cord
■ Disc herniation (cervical/thoracic/lumbar), canal stenosis, spondylolisthesis — microdiscectomy, endoscopic discectomy, minimally invasive decompression, stabilisation when required.
■ Compression fractures, vertebral haemangiomas — vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty.
■ Spinal/nerve-root tumours — microsurgical excision with intra-operative neuromonitoring.
Brain & skull base tumours
■ Gliomas, meningiomas, vestibular schwannomas, metastases — microsurgery under neuronavigation, 5-ALA/fluorescence, intra-operative ultrasound/MRI.
■ Pituitary and skull-base lesions — endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEA).
■ Radiosurgery (adjuvant/alternative) — Gamma Knife/CyberKnife by strict criteria.
■ Awake craniotomy to preserve speech and motor function.
Cerebrovascular
■ Aneurysms & AVMs: coiling/stent-assist, flow diverters (endovascular) or clipping (microsurgical) — chosen by morphology.
■ Skull-base malformations, cavernomas — fully personalised strategy.
■ Carotid disease — endovascular/open in reference centres.
Functional brain surgery & pain
■ DBS (deep brain stimulation) for Parkinson’s disease/dystonia/essential tremor.
■ Microvascular decompression (MVD) for trigeminal neuralgia/hemifacial spasm.
■ Intrathecal pumps, spinal cord stimulation for refractory pain — by indication.
Epileptology
■ Pre-operative mapping, video-EEG monitoring, fMRI/DTI tractography.
■ Resective/disconnective surgery, laser ablation, radiosurgery — tailored to the case.
Peripheral nerves & paediatrics
■ Carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel — microsurgical decompression/neurolysis.
■ Hydrocephalus — ventriculo-peritoneal shunt or endoscopic third ventriculostomy.
■ Congenital anomalies, craniosynostosis — in specialised reference centres.
Safety technologies (standard of care)
■ Neuronavigation, neuromonitoring, ICG angiography, real-time ultrasound.
■ 3D planning, intra-operative fluorescence, high-field imaging.
■ ERAS-Neuro pathways: pain control, early mobilisation, reduced anaesthetic load.
Your pathway, timelines & ENDA’s turnkey service
We keep the journey transparent and manageable at every step — from the second opinion to your return home.
Diagnostics & planning
■ Online consultation: review of MRI/CT/angiography, symptoms and comorbidities.
■ Additional work-up in Türkiye within 24 hours (MRI with tractography, perfusion, CT-angio/DSA as indicated).
■ Multidisciplinary plan: conservative therapy, intervention, radiosurgery or operation; risk and recovery forecast.
Timings & hospital stay (guidance)
■ Minimally invasive interventions — typically 0–2 inpatient days.
■ Cranial/spinal procedures of intermediate complexity — 2–5 days.
■ Recommended stay in Türkiye for follow-up — 7–14 days.
■ Staged rehabilitation and telemedicine reviews — by schedule.
Medication, nutrition, support
■ Personalised pre/post-operative plan (analgesia, anti-oedema, anti-seizure therapy, gastric/venous prophylaxis), plus diet and hydration guidance.
■ ENDA Health organises:
■ a hotel with an appropriate routine and meal plan;
■ delivery of prescribed medicines and care items to your room;
■ a 24/7 coordinator-interpreter for communication, visits and daily matters;
■ transport, scheduled follow-ups, and online monitoring of recovery.
