Biography

After completing my medical education at Hacettepe University, School of Medicine, in 1986, I pursued my career in neurosurgery at Ankara University, Avicenna Hospital, where I trained under renowned experts in functional neurosurgery and graduated in 1992. I became a Professor of Neurosurgery in 2009 and earned my PhD in Anatomy in 2011. In addition to performing standard neurosurgical procedures, I specialize in functional neurosurgical operations, including surgeries for migraine and vertigo, stroke and cerebral palsy, epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease, spasticity, tremor, and restless legs, as well as dementia and psychiatric disorders (psychosurgery). I also conduct reinnervation surgery for traumatic spinal cord injuries and peripheral nerve palsies. I have over 500 citations in journals listed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) or SCI-Expanded.
