Op. Dr. Kaan Tuğberk Özdemir

Dr. Kaan Tuğberk Özdemir is a neurosurgery specialist based in İzmir, Turkey. He runs a private single-specialty clinic in the Alsancak neighborhood. The practice focuses on complex brain and spine conditions. Dr. Özdemir creates individualized care plans with direct surgeon-patient communication.

Neuroscience and Brain Surgery

The clinic treats various neurological disorders through surgery. Dr. Özdemir specializes in brain tumors and cerebral hemorrhages. He also performs procedures for vascular conditions such as aneurysms.

For patients with movement disorders, the clinic offers Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). This involves implanting a brain pacemaker that sends electrical impulses to specific brain regions. Dr. Özdemir has performed over 30 of these pacemaker surgeries. The procedure helps patients who need precise management of movement-control symptoms.

The clinic also provides care for:

• Hydrocephalus management via shunt surgeries
• Brain trauma surgery
• Brain hemorrhage care
• Vascular aneurysm treatments

All surgical plans follow a detailed consultation with the neurosurgeon.

Spinal Surgery and Scoliosis Treatment

The practice addresses degenerative and structural disorders of the spine. Dr. Özdemir performs specialized surgeries for both the neck and lower back. This includes treating spinal stenosis – the narrowing of the spinal canal. For structural corrections, the clinic provides scoliosis surgery.

Microsurgery is the main method for herniated disks. This technique allows for smaller incisions and precise tissue handling. Microdiscectomy removes herniated material that compresses nerves. Surgeons often apply this approach when patients have leg weakness or bladder control issues.

Spinal procedures offered at the clinic include:

• Cervical and lumbar disc herniation surgery
• Cervical and lumbar spinal canal stenosis treatment
• Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)
• Scoliosis correction surgery
• Spine fracture and tumor operations

Dr. Özdemir uses screw-plate systems when spinal stabilization is needed. He also treats radiculopathy – nerve root compression that causes radiating pain.

Diagnostic Equipment

The clinic uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for primary diagnostics. This imaging provides high-resolution views of the brain and spinal cord. It identifies tumor locations and shows how severe disc herniations are. Accurate imaging means every surgery is planned with anatomical precision.

International Patient Care

Dr. Özdemir consults with international patients in several languages:

• English
• German
• Russian
• Arabic
• Turkish

This allows clear communication about complex surgical procedures. Patients receive detailed information about their specific needs before traveling. Clinic staff also provides postoperative guidance on physical activity and long-term recovery.
