About the clinic
Resection of glioma at Memorial Göztepe Hospital in Istanbul is a precise neurosurgical procedure aimed at removing brain tumors while protecting healthy tissue. This JCI-accredited facility uses intraoperative MRI and neuronavigation to help surgeons locate and remove the tumor with high accuracy. The hospital belongs to the Memorial Health Group, which was the first in Turkey to receive JCI certification for international healthcare standards.
Advanced Surgical Technology for Glioma
Memorial Göztepe Hospital uses a hybrid operating room to perform complex brain surgeries. This setup combines imaging and surgery in one session. Surgeons use intraoperative MRI to get real-time images of the brain while they work. This helps them see if they have removed as much of the tumor as possible before finishing the surgery. Neuronavigation acts like a GPS for the brain, helping the surgical team find the exact location of the glioma.
Protecting Brain Function
During the resection, the surgical team uses intraoperative neuromonitoring. This technology continuously checks the patient's brain and nerve functions while the surgeon removes the tumor. It helps avoid damage to areas of the brain responsible for speech or movement. The hospital also uses AI-supported 3 Tesla MRI and digital PET/CT scans for detailed planning before the operation begins.
Expert Neurosurgical Team
The neurosurgery department at Memorial Göztepe is led by experienced specialists including Prof. Dr. Adnan Dağçınar and Prof. Dr. İbrahim Ziyal. The team also includes Associate Professor Dr. Mustafa Sakar and Op. Dr. Eldaniz Mammadli. These surgeons work within a multidisciplinary tumor board. This board includes experts in medical oncology, radiation oncology, and genetics to create a personalized plan for every patient.
Recovery and Facilities
The hospital features 19 operating rooms and 55 intensive care unit (ICU) beds. The ICUs are designed with natural daylight to help patients recover after surgery. As a LEED Platinum certified facility, the hospital focuses on an eco-friendly environment for patient care.
