Neurosurgery
Our Neurosurgery department evaluates and treats surgical conditions involving the brain, spinal cord, spine and peripheral nervous system.
Lumbar and cervical disc herniation, spinal canal narrowing, nerve compression, spinal trauma and surgical diseases involving the brain and spinal cord are among the department’s areas of evaluation. Symptoms and neurological findings are considered together with the necessary imaging studies.
At Koza Health Group Neurosurgery, establishing the correct diagnosis is the first priority. Non-surgical options are considered when appropriate, while individualized surgical planning is made for patients who require an operation according to the characteristics of the disease and overall health status.
