The now widely used “Neuronavigation” system, just like GPS, the satellite-assisted navigation system on the open sea; It enables the neurosurgeon to see on the screens where the brain is touching at that moment, by recreating the images obtained before the surgery in a live and 3D virtual environment in the operating room. Thanks to this system, for example, a large number of small tumors in the brain can all be safely removed with microsurgery, that is, without causing much harm to the patient.
With the ultrasonic aspirator (CUSA) device, thanks to sound waves during surgery; it can be ensured that only the tumor tissue is disintegrated, but the normal brain tissue and vessels are not damaged. Again, the diamond-tipped drill (TUR engine) and saws that can rotate at very high speeds that easily remove the skull bone from its place, the operating microscope that can increase the surgeon’s vision forty times during the tumor removal phase, the brain endoscopes that allow us to see behind a corner, the ultrasonography device used to view the tumor during surgery, Thanks to the latest technologies, brain surgeries can be performed with high success rates today.
