Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in Prof. Atilla YILMAZ MD.
About the clinic
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery at Neuromodulation Healthcare in Istanbul, Turkey, provides a surgical option for patients with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. The facility coordinates care through a network of accredited institutions like Medicana and Memorial Health Group. Patients benefit from a team that has managed 800+ DBS surgeries for people from over 55 countries.
Conditions Treated with DBS
DBS surgery helps manage symptoms when medications no longer work well or cause severe side effects. It is commonly used for Parkinson's disease and essential tremors. The procedure also treats head, voice, and hand tremors. Doctors use this method for dystonia, Meige syndrome, and Tourette syndrome. In some cases, it helps patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The Surgical Process
The surgery involves placing thin electrodes into specific areas of the brain. These wires connect to a small pulse generator placed under the skin near the collarbone. This device sends continuous electrical signals to the brain. These signals help fix abnormal brain activity. For Parkinson's patients, the stimulation may also help the brain produce more dopamine.
Pre-Operative Preparation
Safety is a priority before the surgery begins. A multidisciplinary team reviews every patient. This team includes a neurosurgeon, a neurologist, and a psychologist. An anesthesiologist, a cardiologist, and a nutritionist also check the patient's health. The medical team uses high-resolution brain CT scans for planning. They also perform a brain MRI while the patient is under anesthesia to get clear images.
Patient Care and Travel
The clinic supports international patients throughout their entire medical trip. The process starts with an online consultation to review the case. Staff members help with visa applications and flight tickets. Once in Istanbul, patients receive VIP transfers to the hospital. The package often includes a touristic excursion and a yacht tour during the recovery period. After the procedure and follow-up, the team helps organize the return to the home country.
