About the clinic
Surgical treatment for epilepsy at Memorial Antalya Hospital in Turkey provides a solution for patients who do not respond to medication. The hospital holds JCI accreditation and uses advanced brain surgery technologies like neuronavigation and intraoperative MRI to improve precision. This surgical approach helps manage seizures by targeting the specific areas of the brain responsible for neurological misfires.
Advanced Surgical Technology and Safety
The neurosurgery department uses high-end tools to help surgeons work safely. Intraoperative MRI allows doctors to see brain images in real-time during the operation. Neuronavigation acts like a GPS for the brain, helping the surgical team reach exact locations. Neuromonitoring is also used to watch brain function throughout the procedure. These tools help protect healthy brain tissue while addressing the source of the epilepsy.
Multidisciplinary Epilepsy Care
Treatment involves a team of specialists from both neurology and neurosurgery departments. Prof. Dr. Sevin BALKAN leads the neurological evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and plan the monitoring. Prof. Dr. Mahmut AKYÜZ and Op. Dr. Cenk ERMOL perform the surgical interventions. This collaboration helps decide if a patient is a good candidate for surgery before any procedure begins.
