The scope of stereotactic surgery: conditions treated in Turkey

Stereotactic surgery is defined by extreme precision, often accurate to less than a millimeter. This makes it an effective option for treating complex neurological conditions where conventional surgery may be too risky. In Turkey's advanced neurosurgical centers, its primary applications include:

Precision oncology: Targeting brain & spinal tumors

Stereotactic surgery is commonly used to treat benign and malignant brain or spinal tumors, especially when they are small, deep, or located near critical structures. This includes metastases, meningiomas, acoustic neuromas, and gliomas.

This approach allows doctors to target the tumor precisely while protecting healthy surrounding tissue.

Functional neurosurgery: Managing movement & chronic pain

The same targeting accuracy is used to modulate neural circuits for:

Evolving frontiers: Psychiatric & epilepsy disorders

In highly specialized, multidisciplinary settings, stereotactic techniques are also being applied to treat specific, medication-refractory psychiatric conditions (such as severe OCD) and certain forms of focal epilepsy.

Because symptoms can vary widely, ranging from headaches and movement difficulties to sensory or cognitive changes, a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is essential. In Turkey, this detailed assessment is the first step in determining whether stereotactic surgery is the right foundation for a personalized treatment plan.

Diagnosis before stereotactic surgery in Turkey

Before any stereotactic procedure is performed, a precise and comprehensive diagnosis is essential. In Turkey, this evaluation is carried out through a combination of advanced imaging and detailed clinical assessment to ensure the treatment is both safe and effective.

Advanced medical imaging

High-resolution imaging is the cornerstone of stereotactic planning. It allows specialists to locate the lesion with extreme accuracy and understand its relationship to surrounding brain structures. Commonly used tests include:

These images are used to create a 3D map of the brain, which guides the stereotactic targeting process.

Comprehensive clinical evaluation

Imaging alone is not enough. A thorough clinical assessment helps define the treatment goals and confirm suitability for stereotactic surgery. This typically includes:

Together, these steps ensure that stereotactic surgery is recommended only when it offers the best balance between effectiveness and safety.

Understanding the two main types of stereotactic treatment

Stereotactic treatment isn't a single technique, it's a precision-based approach that can be delivered in two different ways, depending on your condition, location of the lesion, and treatment goals.

Some patients benefit from a minimally invasive surgical intervention, while others are best treated with highly focused radiation, without any incision at all. The table below clearly explains how these two stereotactic options differ, what they are used for, and how doctors in Turkey decide which approach is most appropriate.

AspectStereotactic neurosurgeryStereotactic radiosurgery
Type of treatmentMinimally invasive surgical procedure.Non-invasive radiation-based treatment.
Incisions requiredVery small (or needle-based access).None.
How it worksUses 3D imaging and computer-guided navigation to reach the target with sub-millimeter precision.Multiple focused radiation beams converge precisely on the target while sparing healthy tissue.
Main indicationsDeep or hard-to-reach brain tumors, biopsies, electrode implantation, chronic pain.

Brain tumors, metastases, AVMs, residual or inoperable lesions.

Conditions treatedParkinson's disease, essential tremor, chronic pain, selected tumors.Meningiomas, acoustic neuromas, brain metastases, AVMs.
Number of sessionsUsually one procedure.One session or several sessions, depending on the protocol.
Recovery timeShort, depending on the procedure.Minimal; most patients resume normal activity within 24–48 hours.
Key advantageDirect intervention with maximum precision.Effective tumor control without surgery.

This stereotactic approach allows doctors in Turkey to treat complex neurological conditions that are difficult or unsafe to operate on conventionally, while minimizing risks, recovery time, and impact on healthy brain tissue.

Course of stereotactic surgery in Turkey

Stereotactic surgery in Turkey is a minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure that allows doctors to treat complex brain conditions with extreme precision while preserving healthy tissue.

Here is how the procedure typically unfolds:

  1. Pre-procedure imaging and planning: High-resolution imaging tests such as MRI and CT scans are performed in advance. These images create a detailed 3D map of the brain, helping the medical team precisely locate the lesion and plan the safest treatment strategy.
  2. Anesthesia and positioning: On the day of the procedure, the patient is placed under general anesthesia. The head is carefully stabilized using a stereotactic frame or frameless navigation system, which serves as a reference point for accurate targeting.
  3. Targeted surgical access: The neurosurgeon makes a small incision in the scalp and introduces specialized instruments through a carefully planned pathway. Computer-assisted navigation guides each movement in real time, ensuring sub-millimeter precision.
  4. Treatment of the targeted area: Depending on the condition, stereotactic surgery may be used to: Remove or biopsy a brain tumor; implant electrodes for Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, or movement disorders; Target specific brain regions involved in chronic pain or functional disorders
  5. Closure and recovery: Once the procedure is completed, the incision is closed, and a dressing is applied. The patient is transferred to a recovery area for close monitoring until fully awake. Recovery is generally faster and less demanding than traditional open brain surgery.

Recovery and expected results after stereotactic surgery in Turkey

Recovery from stereotactic surgery is notably faster than from traditional brain surgery, thanks to its minimally invasive precision.

Immediate post-procedure phase

Recovery begins immediately after the procedure. Patients are closely monitored in the recovery area, with vital signs, neurological status, and overall comfort carefully checked. Mild fatigue, slight headache, or minor swelling at the incision site (if any) are common but temporary.

Short-term recovery

Within 24–48 hours, most patients can resume light, non-strenuous activities. Discomfort is usually mild and manageable with standard medications.

In the first week, you may notice improvements related to your condition, such as fewer seizures, better motor control, or relief from chronic pain. Follow-up imaging is often scheduled to confirm accurate targeting and initial treatment success.

Full recovery and long-term results

Over the following weeks, recovery continues. For radiosurgery, symptom improvement may be gradual, while surgical interventions involve wound healing and adaptation to the treated area.

Thanks to the sub-millimeter precision of stereotactic techniques, healthy brain tissue is preserved, allowing patients to maintain or regain neurological function.

This streamlined recovery is supported by the integrated approach of leading Turkish neurosurgery centers, where advanced technology is matched with expert multidisciplinary post-operative care. This system is designed to maximize your recovery, minimize risks, and ensure the long-term success of your treatment.

Taking the first step with a consultation allows a Turkish neurosurgeon or neuro-oncologist to design a recovery plan fully personalized to your condition and health objectives.
