Discectomy in Op. Dr. Kaan Tuğberk Özdemir

About the clinic

Discectomy at the Op. Dr. Kaan Tuğberk Özdemir Neurosurgery Clinic in İzmir, Turkey, provides a specialized solution for patients suffering from spinal disc herniation. The procedure is performed by Dr. Kaan Tuğberk Özdemir, a neurosurgeon who participates in the Eurospine international spine care congress. He uses microsurgical techniques to help patients regain mobility and reduce nerve pain through precise, small-incision surgery.

Advanced Surgical Methods

The clinic focuses on two primary types of spinal disc surgery depending on the location of the herniation. For lower back issues, Dr. Kaan Tuğberk Özdemir performs microdiscectomy to treat lumbar disc herniation. Patients with neck issues may undergo anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, also known as ACDF. Both methods rely on microsurgery, which involves smaller incisions than traditional open procedures. This approach allows for precise nerve decompression while minimizing impact on the surrounding tissues.

Diagnosis and Planning

Accurate surgical planning begins with on-site diagnostic imaging. The clinic uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify the exact location and severity of the disc herniation. Before the procedure, every patient undergoes a thorough neurosurgical consultation with Dr. Kaan Tuğberk Özdemir. These steps help the surgeon create an individualized care plan tailored to the specific needs of the patient's spine.

International Patient Support

Dr. Kaan Tuğberk Özdemir speaks several languages, including English, German, Russian, and Arabic. This allows for direct communication between the surgeon and the patient without the need for an interpreter. Patients receive clear explanations about their condition and the surgical steps involved. After the procedure, the doctor provides specific guidance on physical activity and long-term recovery to help the spine heal correctly.

Recovery and Aftercare

Postoperative care is a vital part of the treatment process at the clinic. The medical team monitors the initial healing phase and provides instructions for safe movement. The goal is to return the patient to their daily routine while protecting the surgical site. To learn more about treatment options for disc herniation, you can leave a request on Bookimed.

Op. Dr. Kaan Tuğberk Özdemir: more details about the clinic

Turkey, İzmir

Dr. Kaan Tuğberk Özdemir is a neurosurgery specialist based in İzmir, Turkey. He runs a private single-specialty clinic in the Alsancak neighborhood. The practice focuses on complex brain and spine conditions. Dr. Özdemir creates individualized care plans with direct surgeon-patient communication.

Neuroscience and Brain Surgery

The clinic treats various neurological disorders through surgery. Dr. Özdemir specializes in brain tumors and cerebral hemorrhages. He also performs procedures for vascular conditions such as aneurysms.

For patients with movement disorders, the clinic offers Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). This involves implanting a brain pacemaker that sends electrical impulses to specific brain regions. Dr. Özdemir has performed over 30 of these pacemaker surgeries. The procedure helps patients who need precise management of movement-control symptoms.

The clinic also provides care for:

Hydrocephalus management via shunt surgeries
Brain trauma surgery
Brain hemorrhage care
Vascular aneurysm treatments

All surgical plans follow a detailed consultation with the neurosurgeon.

Spinal Surgery and Scoliosis Treatment

The practice addresses degenerative and structural disorders of the spine. Dr. Özdemir performs specialized surgeries for both the neck and lower back. This includes treating spinal stenosis – the narrowing of the spinal canal. For structural corrections, the clinic provides scoliosis surgery.

Microsurgery is the main method for herniated disks. This technique allows for smaller incisions and precise tissue handling. Microdiscectomy removes herniated material that compresses nerves. Surgeons often apply this approach when patients have leg weakness or bladder control issues.

Spinal procedures offered at the clinic include:

Cervical and lumbar disc herniation surgery
Cervical and lumbar spinal canal stenosis treatment
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)
Scoliosis correction surgery
Spine fracture and tumor operations

Dr. Özdemir uses screw-plate systems when spinal stabilization is needed. He also treats radiculopathy – nerve root compression that causes radiating pain.

Diagnostic Equipment

The clinic uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for primary diagnostics. This imaging provides high-resolution views of the brain and spinal cord. It identifies tumor locations and shows how severe disc herniations are. Accurate imaging means every surgery is planned with anatomical precision.

International Patient Care

Dr. Özdemir consults with international patients in several languages:

English
German
Russian
Arabic
Turkish

This allows clear communication about complex surgical procedures. Patients receive detailed information about their specific needs before traveling. Clinic staff also provides postoperative guidance on physical activity and long-term recovery.

During my father’s brain tumor surgery process, we met Dr. Tugberk Özdemir. From the very first meeting, he patiently answered all our questions about our illness and the surgical process, and explained everything clearly and understandably. Despite the anxiety we experienced before the operation, his calm, attentive, and reassuring approach helped us a great deal. After the surgery as well, his close care for both our patient and his family was very valuable to us. We got through a difficult and stressful period more comfortably thanks to the trust we placed in our doctor. Thank you very much for his efforts, interest, and approach.

I am 43 years old and live in Konya. Due to a cervical herniated disc, I went to the neurosurgery and nerve surgery doctor and he told me that I needed to have surgery. After that, I started looking for a doctor who was experienced in surgery, and I reached Tuğberk Hocа through a referral. I came from Konya to İzmir for an appointment. He explained the process very well and made me feel confident. I had my surgery, and I recovered in a short time afterward. Right now I’m much better, and my old complaints have largely gone away. I would like to thank Professor Tuğberk and his team very much.

I am 47 years old. Because of a cervical herniated disc, I had been experiencing pain and numbness that had been radiating to my arm for a long time. I managed for a while, but as my complaints increased, surgery became a topic. While researching a good doctor in İzmir, I reached Tuğberk Hocа. After doing a bit of research about him, I had an examination. From the very first meeting, he was very attentive, explained everything in a way I could understand, and put my mind at ease. My surgery was performed by Tuğberk Hocа, and thankfully it went very well. I had significant relief in the pain and numbness in my arm. During my recovery process as well, they helped me with everything. Thank you very much to Tuğberk Hocа and his team; I recommend them with complete peace of mind.

I’m 59 years old. There was narrowing in my spine, and my doctor performed my surgery. Now I have 8 screws in my spine. It has been 3 months since the surgery. In the beginning, it was a bit painful, but over time I recovered. Right now, I’m much better and I’ve started working again. I would like to thank my doctor, who never showed any lack of interest throughout this process, and to the entire team who contributed as well.

7 months ago, Mr. Kaan operated on me with a brain pacemaker surgery in the hope that it would provide a cure for my Parkinson’s disease. After that, he also helped with the complications that occurred. Even after he left the hospital where he worked, his attention and care were still always on me. A very successful doctor—I wish him continued success.

We chose our doctor for my mother’s herniated disc surgery, and honestly, I was very afraid before the operation. When you have a mother, you inevitably think of a hundred different things. But the trust, warmth, and genuine care our doctor showed from the very first consultation truly put my mind at ease. He explained everything in the most understandable way and left no question marks in our minds. He never failed to show interest during the surgery and even afterward. The fact that he kept monitoring my mother’s condition and answered all our questions patiently was very valuable for us. I think he is not only a good doctor, but also someone who gives his patients and their families confidence—his human side is very strong. My mother is doing much better now, and seeing that is priceless for us. We truly want to thank him for the trust he gave us throughout this process and for the care he showed. We’re truly grateful that our paths crossed. 🙏🏻❤️

I went in with a herniated disc complaint. Honestly, I went in with a lot of fear. But, thank God, Doctor Bey reassured me right from the very first moment. He explained what it was and why it happens so well that there was no question left in my mind. Throughout the treatment process, he was always attentive—he never had an approach like “let’s just get it over with.” Thanks to the treatment he gave, my pain significantly decreased, and I was able to return to my daily life comfortably. He’s one of the rare doctors who is both very good at his job and treats people like a human being.

I had surgery for a neck problem. Before and after the operation, they gave me extremely detailed information—more than I’ve ever received. We were able to reach them day and night. Thank you for everything.

We took a very close family friend to him because our relative needed surgery. The operation, which was supposed to take 7–8 hours, was completed in 3 hours, even though a lot of screws had to be installed. A doctor who is energetic, young, and has proper communication. Maybe in this job everyone respects age, but energy and dynamism are also important. He is already very attentive. Moreover, he has a lot of experience as well. We were very satisfied. I’m so glad we met him. 🙏🏼

My brother was a Parkinson’s patient, and his tremors and difficulty with movement were affecting his daily life tremendously. From the very first day we applied to Dr. Kaan Tuğberk Özdemir, he gave us and my brother an incredible sense of trust. He performed the brain pacemaker surgery, and the results were unbelievable. I can honestly say my brother was as if brought back to life. His tremors are almost completely gone; his speech improved, and his face started smiling again. The doctor was both extremely attentive and someone who explained everything slowly and clearly. During the surgery process and even afterward, he did not leave us alone for even a single moment. What a professional, and what a great chance to meet a doctor who is truly human. May Allah be pleased with him—thank you for your efforts. I recommend him to everyone dealing with Parkinson’s disease with complete peace of mind.
