Every year, the MediGlobus global medicine platform together with our partners and patients assesses hospitals by field of medicine. In this assessment, our experts take into account the smallest nuances: the efficiency of treatment, the qualification of doctors, the technical equipment of the centre, participation in clinical research and development, the number of patients admitted per year and much more. In the field of neurosurgery, all these indicators are really important. The slightest mistake can cost a life. To make the best decision, use the rankings of the best clinics and specialists in neurosurgery.
Department of Neurosurgery, Ichilov Medical Center (Souraski) in Tel Aviv
Neurosurgical department of Ichilov Hospital is among the largest in the country.
Israeli specialists at the hospital perform unique operations based on proprietary methods. They use only qualitative and modern medical equipment: neuronavigation, high-precision surgical microscopes, three-dimensional MRI, CT and PET-CT, certified intraoperative equipment, video endoscopic equipment.
More than 2,700 surgical interventions are performed annually in the Ichilov hospital. The doctors treat malignant and benign neoplasms of the brain and spinal cord, pituitary adenomas, cysts of different localization, aneurysms of brain vessels, Arnold–Chiari malformation, hydrocephalus, meningiomas.

Read: Liv Hospital in Turkey
Specialists from Liv Clinic are among the most reliable experts in the field of neurosurgery in Turkey. The success of the operations performed here is 10% higher than the national average. In 2019, they achieved a 0% post-surgery complication rate.
Doctors use unique technologies during complex and delicate operations. Surgical microscope ZeissPentero 900 allows them to zoom in on the image of the operated area, as well as mark the tumour and blood vessels in different colours. Thanks to it, Turkish neurosurgeons can safely remove complex brain tumours without harming neighbouring healthy tissue. It is the first hospital in the world to perform fluorescence-guided surgery on the brain and spinal cord. In addition to CT and MRI, neuronavigation and neuroultrasound are used during surgeries. Using these technologies, doctors perform operations that are impossible in other hospitals with less advanced equipment.
In addition to nervous system tumours, this clinic treats aneurysms, facial spasms, trigeminal neuralgia, dystonia and Parkinson’s disease.
Some of Liv Hospital’s best neurosurgeons:
Professor Mustafa Kemal Hamamcıoğlu. Leading neurosurgeon at Liv Hospital. Specializes in neurosurgery, neurooncology and spinal neurosurgery.
Professor Baran Yılmaz. He has extensive experience in the treatment of degenerative diseases of the spinal cord, vascular diseases of the brain, neurooncology.
Professor Özgür Çelik. Works in children’s neurosurgery and neurooncology. Specializes in the surgical treatment of motor disorders and vascular diseases of the brain.
Professor Burcu Göker. Specialist in pediatric neurosurgery, neurooncology and minimally invasive spinal surgery.
Professor Ali Erdem Yıldırım. He specializes in endoscopic microsurgery of the brain and spinal cord tumours in children and adults, treatment of hydrocephalus, carpal tunnel syndrome, spinal cord hernia.

The department is fully equipped with the latest technology. The modern three-dimensional imaging systems and PET-CT are used in treatment and diagnostics, and each operation is performed using a neuromonitoring apparatus to exclude damage to functional areas.
Thanks to the use of modern treatment protocols and minimally invasive tactics, the traumatisation and duration of the patient’s rehabilitation are greatly reduced. The neurosurgery department provides minimally invasive treatment of oncological neoplasms of the brain and spinal cord, hydrocephaly, brain injury and stroke, intervertebral hernias, cysts, meningiomas and other pathologies.
