PLASTIC SURGERY

SWEATING TREATMENT

Excessive sweating usually manifests in the armpits, hands, and feet, and can often include all of the human body. It is disturbing to the person with the ailment. It’s officially named Hyperhidrosis. Botox injections are the most secure, simple and effective treatment option for excessive sweating. This injection is used to take control of the excessive sweating. The process takes only 10 minutes and is painless. The results begin after 3 days and can be continued for 8 months, depending on the person. This injection can be repeated when the results wear off.

FILLING MATERIALS

Fillers can be used in removal of facial wrinkles, which are formed from Hyaluronyc acid. Hyaluronic acid is used to treat wrinkles.

NOSE SURGERY

Aesthetic nose surgery is an operation that is undergone with general anesthesia and takes a period of 1.5 hours. If the patient does not have breathing problems before the operation, then there is no need to use a buffer afterwards. One week after the surgery, the plastic mold in which the new nose was placed is removed and tape is applied. These bands are removed after three days. Following the surgery, it is not uncommon for the eyelids to bruise and swell.

This swelling and bruising subsides within an average of 5 days. The nose takes its final shape after about one year of processing.

PROMINENT EAR
Prominent ear correction surgery is done under local anesthesia and lasts up to 1.5 hours. The cut is made behind the ear, and for that reason is not very noticeable. Process: 2nd and 7th day after the surgery, patients must come back for controls. With this in mind, patients coming from abroad should make accommodations for at least one week.

LIP AUGMENTATION

To make lips fuller is possible in two ways. First, ready-made filling materials can be applied right in our own office setting. Exposure time is around 6-12 months. Another method of lip augmentation is the injections of oil taken from the patient’s own body and put into the lips. 30% of the injected fat remains in the lips for the lifetime of the patient. Process: The patient can return home immediately after the procedure. If the operation were made with ready filler material, the patient’s lips remain swollen for 2 day. In case of the operation made with the patient’s fat, swelling remains for 15 days.

EYELID SURGERY

The thinnest skin of our body is the eyelids. Therefore, the effect of aging usually first shows itself in this area. Eyelid surgery is done under local anesthesia and lasts up to 20 – 40 min. The redundancies of skin and fatty tissue are removed, and the incisions are closed with aesthetic sutures. Eyelids may remain bruised for up to 4 days after surgery. The patient can bathe 2 days after surgery. On the third day, the bruises can be covered using make up. The patient goes home immediately after surgery. Process: For patients coming from outside the city, they can make arrangements to return home three days after surgery.

OPTHALMOLOGY

At our eye disease clinic, the first step is always for the doctor to listen to the patient’s complaints. According to these complaints, the doctor conducts a routine eye exa- mination, including observation of the external appearan- ce of eyebrows, eyelids, and eye positioning. Using the auto refractometer and retinoscope devices, our doctors then measure the patient’s refractive error. During the slit lamp examination, the eyelashes, conjunctiva, cornea and other anterior eye segment elements of reputation are carefully examined. Finally, the eye’s blood pressure is measured.

REFRACTIVE

Images of objects and light become a point of vision on the retina by breaking through a transparent lens layer of the eye, called the cornea. In the normal eye, sharp images are seen due to the reflection of external light rays on the cornea and lens, straight down the vision center.

The most important symptoms of refractive error are visual disturbances, eye pain and illness. The names of refractive disorders are: nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), horizontal or vertical eye breaker differences (astigmatism) and sightedness due to age-related disorders (presbyopia.)

TREATMENT OF GLAUCOMA

Glaucoma occurs as a result of elevated intraocular pres- sure, which is eventuated from congested channels that drain intraocular fluid. High eye pressure damages and chills the optic nerve. Glaucoma is a disease that does not have any symptoms, but progresses insidiously and can cause sudden blindness. Regular medical examination is the best way to detect and protect against glaucoma.

PEDIATRIC OPHTHALMOLOGY

An easy way to monitor and control children’s eyes is by using pediatric auto refractometer. All that this procedu- re requires is a quick look into a disk of light just meters away. It is important and necessary to do routine eye examinations of newborns and children ages one to three, especially for those children who come from a family with known eye disorders.

STRABISMUS

Strabismus disease is the deterioration of the parallel status of the eye when looking at a single point. The causes of strabismus are: failure to use glasses when needed, abnormality in the muscles that move the eye, congenital and neurological problems.

Slip patterns:
Inward shift (esotropia)
Outward shift (eksotropia)
Sliding Down (hipotropya)
Slip up (hipotropya)

Strabismus treatment aims to increase sight, correct double vision, control provisions of eye movement, and remove aesthetic complaints. Strabismus is treated by surgical methods.

WHAT IS RETINA?

Retina is a light sensitive layer that lines the interior of the eye. It is composed of light sensitive cells known as rods and cones. The human eye contains about 125 million rods, which are necessary for seeing in dim light. Cones, on the other hand, function best in bright light - there are between 6 and 7 million in the eye. Cones are essential for perceiving sharp, accurate images and they can also distinguish colors. The retina works much in the same way as film in a camera.

WHAT IS CATARACT?

Cataracts are a disorder of the eye, characterized by loss of transparency, blurring and gray coloring of the lens. Once the lens becomes blurred, the visual quality of the eye deteriorates due to the blockage of light penetration.

Cataracts are a disorder of the eye, characterized by loss of transparency, blurring and gray coloring of the lens. Once the lens becomes blurred, the visual quality of the eye deteriorates due to the blockage of light penetration. The senile cataract is the commonest form of cataracts. However, in some cases, intra-uterine infections may result in congenital cataracts in infants. Though not a constant rule, cataracts typically appear gradually and progressively.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF CATARACT?

Patients with cataracts suffer from blurry vision, double vision, darkness and color imperceptions.

WHEN SHOULD CATARACT OPERATION BE UNDERGONE?

Cataract surgery is suggested when the conditions of visual disorder hinder the daily life of the patient. If catara- cts are discovered in infants and babies, surgery should be completed as soon as possible to avoid disturbance in vision.

THE PROCEDURE OF CATARACT SURGERY

First, the eye is locally anesthetized with drops. Next, the lens containing the cataract is split into pieces by ultrasound power and then these pieces are removed using special probes 1 mm in size. This method is called ‘phacoemulsification’. The next step in the procedure is the inserting of artificial intraocular lens implants. There is no need to use stitches because the entire procedure is done through very small incisions on cornea. The quality of the lens, which is implanted within the eye, is vital, thus, our medical facility use only the best FDA approved intraocular materials.

EXCIMER LASER-LASIK

The contemporary treatment for refraction disorders, such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, is LASIK. This operation is performed in three steps, ‘flap creation’, ‘laser remodeling’, and ‘repositioning of flap’. The main content of the operation is to remodel the corneal stroma. The laser vaporizes tissue in a finely controlled manner without damaging the adjacent stroma. Performing the laser ablations on the deeper corneal stroma typically provides rapid visual recovery and less pain.

WHAT IS LEUKEMIA?

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood that affects the blood product system. Leukemia is classified as acute or chronic according to propagation and development of the tumor.

Generally, acute leukemia is the most common type of leukemia found among young children, while chronic leukemia is the most common type found among adults.

Acute leukemia is divided into 2 main groups according to the cell type: ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) and AML (acute myeloblastic leukemia).

Chronic leukemia is also divided into 2 main groups according to the cell type: CML (chronic myeloid leukemia) and CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia).

These groups are also further subdivided.

The code change of the main cells in the bone marrow, where the blood cells develop from, is called BLAST. These cells spread rapidly and hold the bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, liver, brain and central nervous system.

WHAT ARE SYMPTOMS OF LEUKEMIA?

- Fever and weakness - Anemia - Swelling of the lymph nodes - Pain in the bones or joints

- Bleeding or bruising easily (purplish patches in the skin, or tiny red spots under the skin).

- Nosebleeds and bleeding gums - Weight loss

BONE MARROW AND STEM CELL

Before the bone marrow transplantation, there is a process of collecting the main stem cells from patient or donor and giving them to the patient with leukemia. Bone marrow transplants can be performed on patients who suffer from leukemia, lymphoma and some other forms of cancer, when other treatments fail to produce results.

Sometimes very high doses of chemotherapy are given over the course of many days in conjunction with radiotherapy. High dose therapy damages the bone morrow and cell system. For that reason, immediately following the high dose therapy application, the patient is grafted his own stem cells (autologous treatment) or donor’s stem cells (allogeneic transplant).

ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION

Our Organ Transplantation Unit, which contains 40 patient beds, has been rendering organ transplantation services since 21th of November 2008. 110 Transplan- tations have been completed in the very short time of just two two months. In 2009, the world record was broken by the Organ Transplantation Unit of Hospital Complex, with a total of 500 kidney transplants and a 99.6% success rate. The 516 kidney transplants performed by the Hospital Complex in 2010 broke its own record.

The achievements of organ transplantation is not a coincidence. The transport activities are performed by an excellent team, featured not only in Turkey, but also at the international platform. Our organ transplantation team has also received recognition for their scientific works at the international platform.

WHAT IS ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION?

Organ transplantation is the movement of an organ between two bodies. The goal is to replace the impaired organ with a healthy one.
Which organs can be transplanted?
Heart, liver, lung, intestine, pancreas, bone marrow, cornea, and in particular, kidneys can be transplanted.

WHO CAN DONATE ORGANS?

Kidneys and livers can be transplanted from a live donor. For this process, the most important factor is that there must be a relation between the donor and recipient. Only some organs, such as the heart, can be transplanted from cadavers (deceased bodies). Up to 40,000 patients with kidney failure have to undergo dialysis. Most of these patients are between the ages of 20 to 40. These patients receive dialysis treatment 3 days a week for 4 hours. For this reason, they have very restricted social lives.

This patient who undergoes an organ transplant can be relieved from dialysis and has the chance to enhance their life time three-fold.

IS ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION A GOOD TREATMENT METHOD?

Organ transplantation significantly increases the life time of the patient and improves their quality of life. Additio- nally, organ transplantation decreases treatment costs.

WHICH PREPARATIONS ARE DONE FOR THE SURGERY?

Following the first meeting with the coordinator of the organ transplantation unit, the patient’s documents are assessed. If the required documents are whole and complete, the routine laboratory and radiology tests are studied and consultations are done by some specialists. This analysis and consultations take about 3 days. The operation is planned according to the tests’ results.

SURGERY PERIOD


The recipient and donor are taken to the operating room simultaneously. The operation is performed in two sepa- rate operating rooms but still at the same time. The donor is taken to the patient’s ward after 3 hours; the recipient is taken after 5 hours.

POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD

On the evening of the day of surgery, both patients are mobilized. The donor is discharged on the 3rd day and recipient on the 6th.

CARDIOLOGY

WHAT IS THE CORONARY ARTERY?

Oxygen and nutrients are very important to protect the vitality of organs in our bodies. Oxygen and nutrients are transported to the organs through arterial blood. Blood is pumped by the heart to the arteries. Nutrition is necessary for heart function. Vessels that supply the heart with blood are named coronary arteries. In the case of illness, the heart’s arteries cannot do its function, resulting in failure of oxygen and nutrition transportation to the body’s organs.

RISK FACTORS FOR CORONORAY ARTERY
DISEASE


Risk factors are as follows;

- Age and gender

- Personal and family history

- Smoking

- Hypertension

- Diabete

- High cholesterol

- Obesity

WHAT IS CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY?

The coronary angiography application is used mostly through the right groin artery (sometimes the arm) to reach vessels of the heart. To enter the femoral artery, the groin area is first numbed with a needle. After that, a plastic sheath is placed into the vessel. During this process, the patient may sometimes experience slight pain. During the next section of the procedure, the patient does not feel anything.

HOW LONG IS THE CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY OPERATION?

Operation takes 12-20 minutes. During the process when a catheter is applied, operation takes 30-45 minutes.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF THE CORONARY ANGIO?

As all medical procedures, there are some risks associa- ted with coronary angiographies.

AFTER DISCHARGE, WHAT SHOULD BE NOTED?

Within 24 hours after discharge from the hospital, the patient must not use force. After 24 hours, the patient can remove the bandage from the operation area and may take a bath. Sometimes the insertion site may have bruises and hardness caused from infiltration of blood under the skin.

After a few weeks, the bruises should fully pass. If the operation area continues to swell or if the patient suffers severe pain, he or she should immediately go to the hospital.

What are the possible treatments following coronary angiography?


After coronary angiography, cardiology expert doctors will inform the patient about the suggested treatment and will give a report showing the results of application. In case of coronary artery stenosis, according to the severity of tigh- tness and the patient’s clinical status, there can be three methods of treatment:

- Drug treatment.

- Catheter-based applications. Balloon angioplasty or stent applications. Immediately after the coronary angi- ography process and following new process session, the patient can be operated on without anesthesia.

- Coronary bypass: Coronary bypass is a surgical procedure performed to relieve angina and reduce the risk of death from coronary artery diseases. Arteries or veins from elsewhere in the patient’s body are grafted to the coronary arteries to bypass atherosclerotic narrowings and improve the blood supply to the coronary circulation supplying the myocardium (heart muscle). This surgery is usually performed with the heart stopped, necessitating the usage of cardiopulmonary bypass.

ONCOLOGY

ONCOLOGY

Cells, which are the building blocks of the body, form tissue. These tissues form organs. In this cycle, cancer starts during the phase of cell collection in tissue formation not during the forming phase of tissues into organs. Normally, cells form according to the needs of the body. After that recognition, they grow, divide and give rise to newly required cells. In old age, cells die and are replaced by newer ones.

Sometimes this cycle fails. This failure is outside the control of the body, as the body either needs more cells or old cells do not die when they should. This uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells is called a tumor mass. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Malignant types of cancer can be seriously life-threatening. Sometimes they may recrudesce even after being removed from the body, or they may spread to neighboring or distant organs.

WHAT ABOUT ONCOLOGY?

Using three methods of oncology (surgical oncology, medical oncology (chemotherapy) and radiotherapy treat- ment and monitoring,) patients can be closely tracked and monitored. Surgical oncology is a very effective methodin diagnosing the disease and usually results in removalof the present tumor from the patient’s body. After the surgical treatment, or in the case when the tumor spreads to more organs, the second stage of treatment is medical therapy (chemotherapy). The third stage of treatment is radiotherapy.

WHAT ARE THE FACTORS THAT CAUSE CANCER?

The factors that cause the cancer are different. According to experts and specialist doctors in the field of onco- logy, the most important factors that cause cancer are as follows:

Genetic factors. External factors (%85) such as: smoking, alcohol, chemi- cal substances, radiation, some infections, unhealthy nut- rition, air pollution, less movement and being overweight. . Internal tfactors (%15) such as: hereditary causes, changes, immune deficiencies, endocrine and metabolic disorders.

WHERE SHOULD BE THE TREATMENT OF CANCER BE UNDERGONE?

Cancer treatment is a group of complex and difficult appli- cations, for that reason, it must be undergone at the most professionalized centers and executed by the most expert doctors in the field.

CANCER TYPES- Lung cancer - Non-small cell lung cancer - Small cell lung cancer - Risk Factors for lung - Colon - Breast can- cer - OvarianThere are some more types of ovarian cancer. The most common type is epithelial ovarian cancer. Other types are very rare.

WHAT ABOUT UTERINE CANCER?

Uterine cancer occurs due to the uncontrolled proliferation of cells to the endometrial layer. Cancer cells can reach remote regions of the body or surrounding organs through lymph nodes through blood flow. A rare tumor of the uteri- ne is called a sarcoma. These tumors are composed at the muscle layer in the uterus.

Our team uses the newest treatments that are applied at in vitro fertilization centers throughout the world by the most elite IVF specialists. We await you at our IVF Center to perform this special miracle.

WHAT IS THE IVF METHOD?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which egg cells are fertilized by sperm outside the body-namely, in vitro. IVF is a major treatment in fertility when other metho- ds of assisted reproductive technology have failed. The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing ova (eggs) from the woman’s ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them in a fluid medium. The fertilized egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient’s uterus with the intent to establish a successful pregnancy.

WHEN IS THE IVF MEHTOD APPLIED?

The IVF method is applied in cases such as: Uterine ducts (tubes) in women with obstruction In cases of defective sperm function:

Extensive adhesions in the abdomen due to endomet- riosis and treatment of disease forcing conventional pregnancy to be impossible

- Immunological infertility
- Some hormonal disorders
- In the case of failure to achieve pregnancy through

other treatment methods
- Cause of completed but unexplained failed infertility

tests
- Adherence with the pre-genetic diagnostic methods - Healthy women with recurrent miscarriages in order to be selected by the method of genetic diagnosis of embryos

- Failure of pregnancy in spite of multiple vaccination applications.

IVF AND ICSI METHODS
ICSI is done as a part of IVF. Since ICSI is done in the lab, your IVF treatment won’t seem much different than an IVF treatment without ICSI.

As with regular IVF, you will take ovarian stimulating dru- gs while being monitored by your doctor through blood tests and ultrasounds. Once you have grown appropria- tely sized follicles, you will undergo egg retrieval, where the eggs are removed from your ovaries with a specialized, ultrasound guided needle.

UROLOGY

GREENLIGHT LASER TECHNOLOGY

Our hospital successfully performs the greenlight laser treatment method, which has become a very effective alternative treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in recent years.

KIDNEY - WHAT IS RENAL CANCER?

Kidney cancer (adenocarcinoma) is a type of cancer that develops in cells lining glandular types of internal organs such as the kidney. Substances in the blood are filtered from about 1 million tiny filters in the kidney. This fluid is re-absorbed by the body, passing through the small channels in the kidney. More ingredients are excreted and this creates urine, which is clearly laid out. Urine enters the pelvis through the small collecting pools in the kidney and is then transmitted to the bladder for storage in the ureter for a period of time. Adenocarcinoma (kidney cancer) is caused from small tubes of urine (tubule). Smoking and excessive use of pain relievers increase the risk of kidney cancer.

PNL SYSTEM - PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROLITHOTRIPSY (PNL)
Kidney stones are a resultant of crystallization of the chemical salts and their combination in the urinary tract. It is often difficult for patients to pass stones bigger than 2 cm from the kidney through urinary tract. In these cases, the stones are broken using the ESWL stone breaker devices.

The most important tasks of the kidney are to remove bodily waste material and excess salts produced in urine, while at the same time filtering the blood. The urine formed by the kidney comes from gradually enlarged collec- ting channels within the kidney and is passed to the renal pelvis. From here, urine is transmitted to the ureter and urinary bladder to be stored for a period of time.

BLADDER CANCER
Bladder cancer is a malignant tumor caused by the forma- tion of cells from the bladder’s wall tissues. In the bladder, three types of malignant tumor may develop:

- Uroepithelial carcinoma

- Squamous cell carcinoma

- Adenocarcinoma

What is neurogenic bladder?

Neurogenic bladder is named for the loss of normal blad- der functions caused by a section in the nervous system, trauma, infection, surgery birth, etc. Main risk factors for the development of neurogenic bladder include: spinal birth defect, tumoral spinal cord, traumatic spinal cord injury, etc.

PROSTATE CANCER

The prostate is the given name for a small gland located below the bladder in men. The normal weight of the pros- tate is approximately 18-20 grams. The prostate gland is present only in males and surrounds the urethra outlet bladder. There are two urinary retention defects common in men: internal and external.

ORTHOPEDY & TRAUMATOLOGY

PREPARATIONS FOR THE SURGERY

Following the physical examination, the orthopedic surgeon decides on a specific course of action, especially regarding the type of implant necessary for the patient. Prior to surgery, the patient also consults with the anesthesia doctor, who provides information regarding the narcosis, anesthesia and operation process. Following these consultations, the necessary routine laboratory tests, including ECG and lung analysis, are undergone. After the completion of this process, the patient is taken to the room for the rest. The operation is planned for a day later.

SURGERY PERIOD

After a day of resting, the patient is taken to the operation room by our facilities’ nurses. In the preparation area of the operating room, sedatives (soothing drugs) are given and soon the patient is taken into surgery. Application of anesthesia is done within the operating room at the beginning of the surgical process. The operation takes approximately between 2 to 3 hours.

POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD

After the surgery the patient is taken to the patient’s ward for recovery. Within just two days, the patient regains mobility. The patient can put weight onto his/her feet while walking; such walking and moving is encouraged with the assistance of the physical therapist. After four post-operative days, the patient is discharged, granted there are no unexpected circumstances.

PHASES AFTER DISCHARGE

The patient has to get refreshed wound dressings every other day. On the 14th day, the sutures are removed.

PHYSIOTHERAPY & REHABILITATION

The physical and rehabilitation center of our hospital offers patient’s services that are 100% current with the appropriate ethical and international standards.

EAR-NOSE-THROAT

The treatments for ear, nose, and throat take place only after lab, radiological and audio tests are completed. Our operating rooms are equipped with all the necessary equipment to provide the utmost comfort to our patients while contributing to a successful surgical process.

DENTAL IMPLANT

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root replacement and is used in prosthetic dentistry to support restorations that resemble teeth or groups of teeth. In daily language, dental implants are known as screwed dental implants or tooth implantations. Traditional crown, dental bridged and plate prosthesis is the most trusted and functional kinds of alter-native dental implant treatments.

WHO CAN RECEIVE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

There is no age restriction on who can receive dental implants, just as long as the patient’s general health condition is good. The implants may not be preferably applied to young adults whose bone and jaw development has not been fully completed yet.

In the case of classic bridge prosthesis, the healthy teeth near the blank are 14 cut.

In this case, prosthesis provides more aesthetic and functional consequences by placing only an implant to relieve the other teeth

The patients who have lost all their teeth on the lower jaw and have prosthesis often complain of continual aching and not being able to chewing as a consequence of the prosthesis movement. This complaint fades over a longer length of time with the dissolving of the bone tissue.

For these patients who undergo implant treatment, the pains that they often complain about are eliminated with the dissolving of the bone.

The process aims to treat diseases in which overhang of soft vein-nerve (dental pulp) takes place in the tooth.

At the time of surgery, the teeth infected with dental pulp were probably removed years ago. With the help of den- tal implantations, it is possible to put this kinds of teeth back into the mouth.

FILLS/COMPOSITE(in teeth color), AMALGAM(metal) When choosing materials for teeth filling, the physician takes into consideration the chewing pressure on the back of the teeth, the aesthetic and endurance on the front teeth, the patient’s claims, and the material lost as a result of cavities on the teeth.

HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

HAIR TRANSPLANTATION METHODS

Hair Loss can also be described as the regeneration of hair itself. Normal hair loss is daily around 80-100 strands. The loss exceeding this amount is not normal and needs to be treated. Despite the medical treatments, in cases where hair loss continues the sole and definite solution is the hair transplantation which is a surgical method.

MEDICAL TREATMENT

The lotions and shampoos having contents of minoxidil is the sole medicine the impact of which was proved. Methods apart from that are not proved by the data of the positive sciences. Thus there are no suggestions of treatment methods for the hair losses exceptionally caused by factors concerning the metabolism.

WHAT IS HAIR TRANSPLANTATION?

It is the process of resect of hair roots from a coded area on the neck, between two ears which has not started yet start Losing hair, and their transplantation to the area where Loss takes place by appropriate methods. These are:

FOLLICULAR UNIT TRANSPLANTATION (FUT)

The most common technique used in the most advanced and developed hair transplantation clinics of the world is the Follicular Unit Transplantation. In this method, the hairy skin removed from the healthy area upon the neck, without disrupting their natural states under microscopes, it is separated into groups, single, double triple groups and is transplanted on the loose or completely bold area. The area on the neck from which the hair is taken is stitched in accordance with the plastic and reconstructive surgery methods. In this manner, the stitch scar behind is reduced to minimum and it could be seen only when the hair is completely buzzed.

In the phase of the plantation (hair transplantation] of the hair groups prepared, array, the hair line to be applied and the conformity of hair with the direction of the existing hair can only be designed by an expert who had experience foryears on this matter. The difference between hair transplantation which seem natural and that seem ugly has got to do with the artistic talent of the hands of the expert who performs the process.

FOLLICULAR UNIT EXTRACTION (FUE)

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method is the transportation of hair roots individually taken strands from various parts of body or neck by fine-lead needles to the loose or totally bold areas. Since there are not any stitches there are not stitch scars. There are no differences between properly applied FUT or FUE methods in terms of results. If the hair line is prepared properly and the directionality is conducted properly, results of both methods seem natural.

MEGA SESSION

In some patients there is a need for both applications of (FUT) and (FUE) simultaneously. This process is called Mega Session. The purpose of this process is to acquire the possible maximum amount of hair root.

NEUROSURGERY

GAMMA KNIFE

Specially designed stereotactic helmet, one key component of Leksell Gamma Knife device, enables your surgeon identify the tumor or diseases area a “pinpoint” precision. This helmet is placed on and fixed to your head using four small screws and it ensures that beams are precisely delivered to the target. This helmet completely immobilizes your head during the procedure and accordingly, beams are precisely focused on the target area in your brain.

Imaging

A series of advanced imaging study, such as MRI or CT, will be required in order to precisely determine size, shape and location of the tumor, lesion or abnormality, while helmet is on the head of the patient. Angiogram may be also necessary, if your physician treats a vascular abnormality. Angiogram includes intravenous administration of an opaque substance and therefore, imaging study will clearly show cerebral veins and arteries. Coordinates on the helmet form a part of images, which will be used by your neurosurgeon to make a precise plan for the procedure.

Treatment planning

After images are recorded, you may sleep, rest or relax, while your physician develops a specific treatment plan for you. First, images are processed in the computer. Next, a treatment protocol will be planned using Leksell Gamma Knife 3D planning software.

There is no single treatment, which fits all patients; treatment is planned specifically for each patient, taking into consideration special condition of the patient. Leksell Gamma Knife includes a specific helmet set, which has 201 holes in order to precisely deliver radiation beams to the brain, and your treatment will be comprised of one or more than one therapy sessions.

Treatment

When treatment plan is completed, you will be placed on treatment table and your head will be placed in the stereotactic frame for your first therapy. You will be wake during the procedure and you will have audiovisual communication with Leksell Gamma Knife team. When Gamma Knife radiosurgery is started, dome of the treatment table will move, which is substantially similar to the table of MRI or CT device.

The team will continuously monitor the procedure. You may receive more than one therapy, each taking 2 to 45 minutes, during Leksell Gamma Knife session.

Return to normal life

Helmet will be removed, when your treatment is completed. If angiogram is scanned, you should lie calm for further several hours. Some patients may experience minimal headache or minimal swelling at the localization, where helmet is fixed; however, most patients did not report any problem. Your doctor will notify you whether you will stay at hospital or you will be discharged to home. In each case, you may return your work or ordinary daily life in next day.

You will notice effects of Gamma Knife therapy in the course of time. Gamma Knife therapy is designed to stop expansion of tumors or lesions, or in other words, tumor or lesion may not immediately disappear and it will shrink within weeks or months. Your physician and Gamma Knife team will regularly contact you in order to evaluate prognosis and this follow-up evaluation includes MRI or CT scans in near future and at regular intervals.
