Lokman Hekim Van Hospital, which has achieved great success in the field of health in Van, performed brain surgery without a knife for the first time in the region. The patient named Khadija Ilter, who came to the hospital in a state of unconsciousness and coma, was treated with a different method and regained her health. The patient underwent the method that was applied for the first time in the region, which was inserted through the groin and intervened in the bubble in the brain. Dr. Özel Lokman Hekim Van Hospital Brain and Neurosurgery Operator who made a statement on the subject. Ekrem Yalçın,"The patient was brought to the hospital in a state of unconsciousness, collapse and coma on one side. Such patients are mostly hospitalized in intensive care and their follow-up is followed up. In this patient, the bubbles that were closed by surgery were closed without surgery for the first time, by entering from the groin and putting a stent on the brain like a heart stent. Khadija Ilter became the first patient in the region to have this method applied. At the stage when we arrive, we close the bubbles in the brain by entering them through the groin with angiography,"he said.
Yalçın said that about 10 patients a month go from Van to various provinces due to bubble-related brain hemorrhage."Such patients usually go to the nearest centers such as Diyarbakır, Erzurum, Ankara and Istanbul with their relatives. It is very important that patients stay in our region, treatments take place in our region, and that patient relatives do not go to the right and left and are miserable, and that the medical tourism in our region remains alive, the process we are doing here is very important,"he said.
"Brain hemorrhages are diseases that are usually 90 percent undiagnosed in things like brain tomography, MRI," said Dr. Yalçın,"These diseases are the most troublesome and the most deadly group of diseases of neurosurgery. We determine this by CT Angiography and brain angiography, which we call DSA. The diagnostic value of CT angiography is lower than that of inguinal DSA angiography. For about 2.5 years, both in Van and in the region, such patients have been referred to our hospital by 112. We also help our patients with the diagnosis and treatment of this. We've had about 70, 80 patients so far. We, as Lokman Hekim Hospital, have been monitoring, diagnosing and treating the hemorrhages of the brain associated with this bubble in our region for 2-5 years,"he said..
The patient named Hatice Ilter, in her speech in Kurdish, said that she had minor pains, but she felt fine.
