Surgical treatment of spine and spinal cord diseases

Deformity surgery is the surgical correction of scoliosis, kyphosis, and spinal imbalance. Effective treatment is achieved with modern techniques and implants. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's expertise in complex deformity surgery.

Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive technique performed through an 8 mm incision. Same-day discharge and rapid recovery are possible for lumbar and cervical disc herniations. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's endoscopic surgery expertise.

Peripheral nerve surgery treats nerve compressions, injuries, and tumors. Carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, and nerve tumors are treated surgically. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's nerve surgery expertise.

Lumbar disc herniation surgery is performed when conservative treatment fails for herniated discs. Microdiscectomy and endoscopic discectomy achieve 90-95% success rates. Safe treatment with Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's expertise.

Spondylolisthesis is the slippage of vertebrae over one another. Treatment includes conservative management or spinal fusion surgery. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's expertise in spinal instability.

Lumbar spinal stenosis causes leg pain and numbness while walking due to spinal canal narrowing. Decompression surgery improves walking capacity. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's stenosis expertise.

Cervical disc herniation surgery treats herniated discs causing arm pain and numbness. ACDF and artificial disc surgery achieve high success rates. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's 25 years of expertise.

Thoracic disc herniation is a rare disc disease of the mid-back. Surgical treatment is required for spinal cord compression. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's thoracic surgery expertise.

Spinal injection therapy is a non-surgical treatment option for back and neck pain. Pain control is achieved with epidural, facet, and nerve blocks. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's interventional pain treatment expertise.

Sciatica is nerve pain radiating from the lower back to the leg. It can be caused by herniated disc, stenosis, or muscle entrapment. Treatment includes conservative care or surgery. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's sciatica expertise.

Spinal tumors are abnormal cell growths in the spine and spinal cord. Treatment includes surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Safe treatment with Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's spine oncology expertise.

Cervical spinal stenosis compresses the spinal cord, causing hand clumsiness and walking difficulty. Early surgical treatment prevents permanent damage. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's cervical stenosis expertise.

Sacral tumors are rare tumors developing in the sacrum bone at the lower end of the spine. Chordoma, giant cell tumor, and metastases are most common. Treatment is surgical resection. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's oncologic surgery expertise.

Tarlov cysts are CSF-filled sacs around nerve roots in the sacral region. They can cause sitting pain and bladder problems. Treatment may include surgery. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's cyst surgery expertise.

Kyphosis (hunchback) is abnormal forward curvature of the thoracic spine. It can be postural, Scheuermann, or degenerative type. Treatment includes exercise, bracing, or surgery. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's kyphosis expertise.

Tethered cord syndrome is stretching of the spinal cord by abnormal attached tissues. It causes back pain, bladder problems, and leg weakness. Treatment is surgical release. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's pediatric neurosurgery expertise.

Pediatric scoliosis is lateral curvature of the spine exceeding 10 degrees in children. Early diagnosis allows brace treatment or surgical correction. Safe treatment with Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's pediatric scoliosis expertise.

Adult scoliosis is lateral curvature of the spine in adults. Conservative or surgical options are available for degenerative changes and pain treatment. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's deformity surgery expertise.

Brain tumors are abnormal cell growths developing in the brain. Treatment includes surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Safe brain surgery with Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk's neuro-oncology expertise.

Expert surgical treatment for Chiari malformation (cerebellar tonsillar ectopia). Posterior fossa decompression surgery relieves brain stem compression, reduces headaches, and improves neurological symptoms.

Minimally invasive microdiscectomy for lumbar disc herniation. Expert microsurgical treatment relieves sciatica and leg pain with faster recovery, smaller incisions, and excellent outcomes.

Expert microsurgical treatment for cervical disc herniation. Advanced techniques including ACDF and posterior approaches relieve neck pain, arm pain, and neurological symptoms with excellent outcomes.

Disc degeneration is the breakdown of intervertebral discs due to aging or wear. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk offers effective treatment with minimally invasive methods.

Chronic low back pain is persistent pain lasting more than 3 months that affects daily life. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk offers treatment with a multidisciplinary approach.

Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) is persistent or new pain after spinal surgery. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk offers advanced treatment options.

Sports-related spine injuries include disc herniation, muscle injuries, and vertebral fractures seen in professional and amateur athletes. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk offers specialized treatment protocols for athletes.

Meningiomas are usually benign tumors arising from the membranes (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk offers treatment with microsurgical and endoscopic methods.

Gliomas are tumors arising from glial cells in the brain and spinal cord. Prof. Dr. Salim Şentürk offers advanced surgical techniques for glioma treatment.

Pituitary tumors are growths that develop in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. Most of these tumors are benign and treatable.

Nerve sheath tumors are tumors originating from the sheath surrounding peripheral nerves, most of which are benign. Schwannoma and neurofibroma are the most common types.

Diagnosis and treatment of spine injuries in weightlifting and fitness sports.

Treatment of spine injuries from twisting and rotating movements in sports.

Treatment of spine injuries in football, basketball, hockey and other contact sports.

Specialized treatment of spine problems in elite and professional athletes.
