Lokman Hekim Van Hospital, which has made many innovations in the field of health, has signed another principle and performed a brain surgery that is difficult and risky.
A neurosurgeon working at Lokman Hekim Van Hospital Op. Dr. Ekrem Yalçın restored Nazırhan Yalın, who had both a cyst and a tumor in his brain, to his health by having surgery. The patient named Nazırhan stated that he was referred to Ankara, but he could not go because it would be far and costly, and expressed that he was very pleased to have surgery in Van. Nasirhan Yalın said that he went to Van Regional Training and Research Hospital, after the MRI taken there, he was referred to YYU Dursun Odabaş Medical Center, and from there he was transferred to Ankara. Yalın said, "They sent me to Ankara. I didn't want to go there and have surgery. Honestly, I didn't have anyone with me. God forbid that maybe I won't be able to get out of surgery. I had both a cyst and a tumor on my head. That's why I didn't want to be in Ankara. After that, I came to Lokman Hekim Van Hospital. We thought we'd meet here. When he told us the same thing here, we said we'd better be here. Here they shipped it to Ankara. I couldn't leave, I couldn't leave. I wanted to be here when I couldn't go to Ankara because I didn't have the opportunity. May Allah be pleased with Teacher Ekrem, he operated on me. Thank God I'm doing fine. The reason I didn't go to Ankara and preferred this place is because I chose this place because it is close to my hometown, my family, and I have less expenses. It's very nice and cozy here, I'm glad. Citizens don't need to go to remote places,” he said.
The operation is performed by the Op. Dr. Ekrem Yalçın, on the other hand, expressed that there are many risks of such surgeries and said, “Our Nazırhan patient had both a tumor in his brain and a cyst that blocked a circulatory path that we call cerebrospinal fluid. Our patient first has an MRI at the Van Regional Training and Research Hospital, and then our patient is referred to YYU Dursun Odabaş Medical Center. There the patient is told about the risks of the disease. He is told that he needs urgent surgery. Then, because the patient also has a number of risks, they also provide convenience in his referral. It is considered appropriate to send it to Ankara. Then, somehow, we have about 2-3 such tumors that were previously deemed suitable for shipment to Ankara and Istanbul every month in our hospital, and we carry out brain aneurysm hemorrhages here with our team in Ankara. We first installed a shunt on the patient as an emergency. Our goal in this shunt was that there was a risk that this cyst would suddenly block the cerebrospinal tracts, leading to the sudden death of the patient. First of all, we eliminated that risk. We inserted a shunt from the brain to the abdominal cavity into our patient. We removed some urgency from the patient. A week later, we surgically removed both the cyst with its capsule and the tumor with its capsule in a total sense. Of course, all this surgery was a risky time after surgery. Of course, relatives of a patient should take this risk here. Because these risks are risks that occur in Ankara, Istanbul, America, that is, even in the most advanced medical centers. In such things, first of all, the equipment that will perform the operation, the group of doctors who will perform the operation, that is, they are very important. I would say that our Lokman Hekim Hospital is the only private hospital in Van with A group. In this regard, it is very important for patients that such operations take place here. In fact, I can say that we are the only hospital that currently performs these operations, including in the surrounding provinces for cerebral hemorrhage, aneurysm hemorrhage. He knows about the emergency 112s that meet these patients. We think that we will be healing for many more patients here, inshallah, like Nazirhan, and we will be an intermediary for their healing. Of course, not only us, but also the 112s, physicians who refer these patients to us in the surrounding provinces, the active work of the 112 Emergency Departments here is of course always very important”"he said
