Specialization and Surgical Approach
Prof. Öztürk treats spinal conditions using surgical techniques like cervical disc prosthesis and vertebral plastic procedures. These procedures help patients with spinal column stenosis, disc herniations, and spinal fractures. The doctor also specializes in correcting curvatures such as scoliosis and kyphosis. He treats both pediatric spinal problems and adult spinal deformities.
His practice uses minimally invasive spinal surgery to reduce patient recovery time. This approach includes laser discectomy and endoscopic discectomy for slipped discs. Laser discectomy uses light energy to shrink a herniated disc. Endoscopic discectomy involves a small tube and camera to remove disc material. Additionally, Prof. Öztürk uses stem cell therapy to address specific orthopedic conditions.
