About the clinic
Hydrocephalus surgery at Memorial Göztepe Hospital in Istanbul helps treat the accumulation of fluid in the brain through advanced shunt and endoscopic methods. The hospital belongs to the Memorial Health Group, which was the first in Turkey to receive JCI accreditation for quality and safety. This facility stands out for its pediatric neurosurgery department and the use of intraoperative MRI to guide surgeons during delicate brain procedures.
Advanced Surgical Technology for Brain Care
Surgeons at Memorial Göztepe use a hybrid operating room to perform complex brain and nerve procedures. This space combines surgical tools with advanced imaging systems. The medical team uses neuronavigation to maintain precise orientation inside the brain in real time. For complex cases, intraoperative MRI allows doctors to take brain images while the surgery is still happening. This helps the neurosurgeon check their progress without moving the patient to another room. The hospital also uses neuromonitoring to track nerve function during the operation.
Treatment Methods for Hydrocephalus
The neurosurgery department treats hydrocephalus, often described as "water in the head," using several techniques. Doctors may choose microsurgery or endoscopic methods depending on the patient's needs. Shunt surgeries are a common option to drain excess fluid and relieve pressure. The hospital supports recovery with 55 intensive care unit beds. The facility also uses AI-supported 3 Tesla MRI and 512-slice CT scans to get detailed images of the brain before and after surgery.
Pediatric Neurosurgery Specialists
Children with hydrocephalus receive care in a child-friendly environment with 24/7 pediatric support. The neurosurgery team includes Prof. Dr. Adnan Dağçınar and Prof. Dr. İbrahim Ziyal, who focus on brain and nerve surgery. They work alongside Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Sakar and Dr. Eldaniz Mammadli. These specialists treat both congenital conditions present at birth and acquired brain health issues. The hospital covers 81,000 square meters and holds a LEED Platinum certification for its environment-friendly design.
