Tolgay Şatana

With endoscopic surgery aimed at relieving nerve compression and restoring movement, Tolgay Şatana’s work centers on minimally invasive spine and joint procedures at the clinic. He is described as internationally recognized for minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgery as well as arthroscopic joint surgery. A key part of his approach is promoting methods he developed in arthroscopic joint surgery for the shoulder joint and the knee. He is also noted as being among the first physicians to perform arthroscopic treatments for other joints such as the elbow, wrist, ankle, and hip. At the clinic, the focus is on precision and targeted treatment planning, including options that prioritize non-surgical solutions when surgery is not necessary. For spine and nerve conditions, his practice includes endoscopic procedures designed to reduce chronic back or leg pain and relieve arm or neck symptoms. For orthopedic patients, arthroscopic surgery is used to address joint problems while aiming for minimally disruptive treatment.

Clinical focus and techniques

Şatana works across spine and joint care with an endoscopic and arthroscopic focus, using minimally invasive approaches intended to target the source of symptoms while limiting disruption.

• Percutaneous Endoscopic Transforaminal Decompression — a minimally invasive approach to relieve nerve compression and reduce chronic back or leg pain.
• Percutaneous Endoscopic Cervical Discectomy — targeted cervical disc treatment designed to preserve spinal stability while relieving neck and arm pain.
• Endoscopic Piriformis Release — endoscopic release of the piriformis muscle to alleviate sciatic nerve compression.
• Arthroscopic joint surgery — including arthroscopic treatments promoted for the shoulder joint and the knee.
• Arthroscopic surgery for additional joints — including elbow, wrist, ankle, and hip.
