Many trepanned skulls were found in Anatolian archaeological works

The history of neurosurgery in Anatolia goes back 10000 years Excavations in AşıklıHoumlyuumlk revealed the remains of a 20- to 25-year-old young woman had ldquotrepanationrdquo on her skull

One of the most famous Turkish physicians SerefeddinSabuncuoglu published his color illustrated surgery book CerrahiyetuumllHaniye(Imperial Surgery) ImperialSurgery in the 15th century This atlas contains many neurosurgicalapplications for epilepsy hydrocephalus headache low back painsciatica and spinal fractures

DrCemil (Topuzlu)Pasha was a pioneer of modern Turkish surgeryHe performed numerous neurosurgical procedures such as trepanation inbrain abscess and laminectomy The first page of the article fromDr Topuzlu regarding successful drainage of the brain abscess in 1894 is shown

Dr Mazhar Osman was the founder of modern neuroscience in Turkey He was aneuropsychiatrist who completed his training in Germany with Kreaplin (the founder of organicpsychiatry) Dr Osman published the first Turkish neuroscience journal between 1916 and 1918It contained 11 articles regarding neurosurgery The cover page of this first neuroscience journal Sisli Muessesesinde Emraˆz ı Akliye ve Asabiye Musamereleri is shown (courtesy of Dr SahapErkoc)

Prof Mim Kemal Oke (1884 1955) who replaced Prof Wieting as the chief of surgery at Gulhane Military Medical Academy at the end of the war was one the most reputable surgeons of the era and performed numerousneurotraumatological operations

The certificate given to Dr Tuner by Dr Foerster is the first fellowship certificate given in neurosurgery specialty in the history ofTurkish neurosurgery

Dr Hami Dilek worked as fellow of Dr Vincent and Dr DeMartel and returned to Turkey in 1936 He established neurosurgery departments in two different hospitals including Haydarpasa Numune Hospital and became the first residency program director for neurosurgery in 1947

Acta NeurochirurgicaSeptember 2007 Volume 149 Issue 9 pp 943-948

Dr Altınok was the chief of the department of neurosurgery from 1968 to 1992 at Bakirkoumly Mental and Psychological Health Hospital in Istanbul

He collaborated with Raymond M P DonaghyMD at the University of Vermont in developing microneurosurgery Yaşargiltreated epilepsy and brain tumors with instruments of his own design

Yasargil clips with their compression forceps This kind of metallic clips were developped by Yaşargil and are still used during neurosurgery to help treat aneurysms

Yasargil Leyla Retractor System

Currently there are almost 1200 neurosurgeons in Turkey and 75 training clinics at university hospitals and Training and Research Hospitals of the Ministry of Health provide neurosurgery training The current state of neurosurgery in Turkey is parallel to that of the advanced Western countries Apart from the application of neurosurgical procedures there have been many scientific studies from Turkish neurosurgeons contributing to the total body of literature in neurosurgery

Turkish Neurosurgical Society

TNS has two scientific peer-reviewed journals Turkish Neurosurgery and TuumlrkNoumlroşiruumlrji Dergisi (Turkish Journal of Neurosurgery) The TNS bulletin was published four times a year to facilitate communication within the Society and to keep record of all the works conducted

Alongside periodicals TNS published the Basic Neurosurgery Textbook which comprises two volumes and 2144 pages Moreover 13 more books on various subjects have been published for our colleagues
