Prof. Dr. İlhan Elmacı focuses on neuromonitoring, explaining that in the operating room, regardless of whether the patient is under anesthesia or not, there is a continuous assessment of the electrical activity of the brain. In parallel, neuroradiological studies are conducted, which helps to accurately determine the location of areas responsible for vital functions in the body and assess the work of the brain as a whole.
Each person’s brain has certain characteristics. The doctor evaluates them before surgery. New technologies and the use of special software allow us to do this at the highest level. Neuroradiologists can accurately determine the location of the tumor. Neuromonitoring significantly reduces the risk of damage to the finest brain structures that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
