Cagri Canbolat

Dr. Cagri Canbolat is a neurosurgeon specializing in complex skull base and neuro-oncological procedures. He co-authored a study on surgical outcomes for 228 elderly patients with intracranial meningioma. Dr. Canbolat treats patients at Liv Hospital Vadistanbul in Turkey.

Neuro-Surgical Specialization

Dr. Canbolat performs surgical interventions for the brain and spine. He uses minimally invasive techniques to treat spinal conditions and tumors. This approach helps reduce recovery times and minimizes damage to surrounding tissues.

The neurosurgeon treats several conditions, including:

• Brain and pituitary tumors
• Cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations – abnormal tangles of blood vessels that disrupt normal blood flow
• Herniated disks and spinal stenosis
• Pediatric neurosurgical disorders
• Neuro-trauma and critical care needs

Surgical Procedures

Dr. Canbolat performs operations using navigation and robotic systems and works in both vascular and oncological neurosurgery. His procedures include:

• Robotic spine surgery and endoscopic discectomy
• Brain aneurysm repair and tumor embolization – a procedure to block blood flow to a tumor
• Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) – a surgery to remove a damaged disc in the neck
• Fetal surgery for spina bifida and syringomyelia repair
• Stem cell therapy for neurodegenerative conditions

Research and Scientific Contributions

Dr. Canbolat conducts research on spinal cord injury and genetic defects. He also investigates therapeutic agents like Etanercept to help recovery after nerve trauma. His academic work appears in international journals such as World Neurosurgery.

Notable publications and research include:

• "Elderly Patients with Intracranial Meningioma: Surgical Considerations in 228 Patients"
• "Neural tube defect family with recessive trait linked to chromosome 9q21.12-21.31"
• "Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma"
• "Therapeutic Effect of Etanercept and Ustekinumab in an Experimental Model of Partial Spinal Cord Injury"
