Clinical focus

Dr. Can’s clinical work covers both cranial and spinal neurosurgery. On the cranial side, he evaluates and treats brain tumours, including gliomas and meningioma, and provides pituitary disease treatment. His practice also includes cerebrovascular conditions such as brain aneurysms and cerebrovascular occlusion.

In the area of spinal health, he sees patients with low back, neck and back pain, disc herniation and spinal stenosis. He treats spinal deformity and fractures and manages spine and spinal cord tumours. His areas of expertise also include spinal cord stimulation. For conditions affecting the brain, pituitary gland, spine and spinal cord, Dr. Can discusses surgical and non-surgical approaches where appropriate, and the suitability of any option depends on the individual diagnosis, symptoms and imaging findings established during assessment.

How Dr. Can works with international patients

Dr. Can speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be used to review a case and discuss possible next steps before any decision about travel is made.
