Transferring the preoperative Computerized Brain Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of the patient live in the operating room to a special computer system called the Neuronavigation system; After determining the necessary coordinates and recreating the 3-dimensional structure of the patient’s target organ (brain, spinal cord, spine, etc.) in the virtual environment and planning the intervention to the patient in this environment, thanks to very special tools; being able to see on the screens where the surgeon is touching the brain at that moment; It is now widely used for neurosurgery surgery, like GPS (General Positioning System-Global positioning system), which is the ‘Navigation’ system of navigation with the help of satellites in the same maritime. With the help of this system in the vast sea, the desired destination can be reached without the slightest deviation in the route, and the Neuronavigation system, as a satellite of neurosurgeons, ensures that the most accurate way is found in surgeries and prevents unnecessary tissue damage. Thanks to this system, it is now possible to safely remove all of the large number of small tumors, especially metastatic, that is, the spread of cancer in the body to the brain, and the patient’s life expectancy is significantly extended.
With the ultrasonic aspirator device, thanks to the sound waves that are effective only on the contact surface during brain surgery; it can be ensured that only the tumor tissue is disintegrated, but the normal brain tissue and vessels are not damaged. Thanks to this device, the duration of the operation is shortened, blood loss during the operation is reduced, complications are reduced, so the problems that may arise during and after the operation are minimized.
Advanced Bipolar Cauter, which opens the soft tissues we can use during surgery, diamond-tipped drills and saws that can displace the skull bone at very high speed, Operating Microscope that can increase our visual acuity 40 times during the tumor removal phase and has the most advanced balance systems, again detailed vision Advanced technology brain endoscopes that increase our strength, Ultrasonography devices used to view the tumor during surgery, Frozen Section applications that allow us to understand whether the tumor is benign or malignant during surgery, advanced tissue adhesives that help us to close the cerebral membrane after removing the tumor, restoring the skull bone to its place. Titanium screw and plate systems that allow us to place the skin clean and fast, stapler systems that allow us to close the skin cleanly and quickly, the catheter and pressure measurement system that allows us to continuously measure the pressure in the brain both during and after the operation, and all op Today, brain surgery can be performed with high success rates, thanks to the latest developments in modern medicine, such as imaging techniques that allow recording and storing the course of the aging on DVD discs.
Successful use of possibilities such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy after surgery in tumor treatment and prolonging life in this way depends on the complete removal of the tumor tissue by the surgeon. Nowadays, brain tumors can both be completely removed and the consciousness of the patients after the surgery can be completely restored.
