Hydrocephalus Doctors Abroad — Page 2

Dr Murat Duzgun focuses on neuro-navigation and closed-method surgery for managing pressure and fluid buildup within the brain.

• Performs endoscopic brain surgery – a 'closed' method using small incisions for faster recovery and reduced scarring
• Uses neuro-navigation technology – real-time GPS-like mapping for higher precision during delicate brain procedures
• Manages congenital anomalies and fluid accumulation in paediatric and adult cases
• Trained at Ege University Hospital – one of Turkey's most prestigious medical institutions for neurosurgery

Dr. Ahmet Oktem is a neonatologist at Medipol Acibadem District Hospital in Istanbul. He specializes in the intensive care of premature infants and neonatal infections. Dr. Oktem focuses on treating respiratory issues and metabolic disorders like hypoglycemia. He holds a doctorate from Ankara University and completed specialization at Hacettepe University.

• Manages complex cases of congenital anomalies and birth-related infections.
• Expert in prenatal screening and postnatal interventions for newborns.
• Treats pediatric conditions including hydrocephalus and spina bifida.
• Practices at a JCI-accredited facility using robotic surgical systems.

Assistant Professor Cevdet Gokcek is a high-volume neurosurgeon who has successfully treated thousands of patients with complex brain and nerve conditions.

• Specialises in endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) – a fluid-drainage technique that avoids permanent shunt implants
• Expert in managing multiloculated hydrocephalus and paediatric cranial anomalies in neonates and children
• Trained in neuro-endoscopy at Ghent University in Belgium to perform minimally invasive brain procedures
• Published 17 research articles and presents regularly at international neurosurgery conferences

Professor Mehmet Ozek is a leading figure in paediatric neurosurgery, serving as the President of the European Society for Paediatric Neurosurgery.

• Specialises in endoscopic treatments for hydrocephalus to avoid permanent shunt dependency

• Fellow of the Indian Society of Neuroanaesthesiology and Critical Care
• Senior member of the Neurological Society of India and Association of Surgeons of India
• Specialises in spinal reconstruction and interventional neuroradiology

Professor Mustafa Gurelik leads the neurosurgery department at Medicana Sivas Hospital, where he performs both shunt and endoscopic surgeries for hydrocephalus.

• Specialises in endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) – a technique that creates a natural bypass for fluid without permanent implants
• Performs shunt placement surgery to drain excess brain fluid and relieve pressure
• Manages complex cases involving cerebrovascular aneurysms and brain haemorrhages
• Academic researcher at Cumhuriyet University, one of Turkey's established medical faculties
• Expertise covers both adult and paediatric neurosurgical trauma and injuries
