Introduction
Dr. YILMAZ’s major fields of interest include Functional Neurosurgery, Neuromodulation surgeries (Spinal cord stimulation, Sacral nerve stimulation, Vagal nerve stimulation, Intrathecal Baclofen Pump implantation), and Spine surgery. Additionally, he has a remarkable experience in War surgery. His work in the fields of DBS and neuromodulation has been extensively published. He teaches courses for physicians on how to perform neuromodulation surgeries. He has many observers from Turkey and abroad especially from the Middle East. He pioneered the opening of many new neuromodulation centers throughout the country.Dr. YILMAZ is highly fluent in English and Arabic and married with two children. Dr. YILMAZ still holds a post as an Associate Professor on Department of Neurosurgery

b> Introduction: In tremor syndromes, pharmacological therapy is the primary treatment, but deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used when it is insufficient. We explore the use of DBS, focusing on the globus pallidus internus for dystonia and the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) for tremor conditions. We introduce the posterior subthalamic area (PSA)...
Objective: Parkinson's disease is a brain condition that results in unintentional or uncontrollable movements like trembling, stiffness, and issues with balance and coordination. Typically, symptoms start mildly and get worse over time. People could experience difficulties speaking and walking as the illness worsens. The most often performed surgic...
Purpose:
To investigate the effects of bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) with different stimulation frequencies on static balance.
Materials and methods:
Twenty patients (15 males and 5 females), aged between 43 and 81 (mean: 60.05±7.4) years, who had been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and underg...
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is introduced for the surgical treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, tremor, dystonia, and tics. Electrostimulation of the ventral thalamus or subthalamic area has been found effective in different types of tremors that have different etiologies. Abernethy malformation is a rare congenital abnorma...

Objective
Adjacent segment disease is a controversial process after spine stabilization. The two important factors discussed are natural aging and hypermobility in incidental segmental fusion anomalies; patients have two or more fused vertebrae from birth, which are the results of spinal movement restriction due to the fusion of some spinal units....
Aim: Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) findings can be useful to detect and measure neurodegeneration that is seen in Parkinson’s
disease (PD). Microstructural changes in regions of the brain related with motor function are evaluated by using DTI measurements
of fractional anisotropy (FA) to find out the possible role of the technique in diagnosis in...
Parkinson disease (PD) represents 75% of all parkinsonian syndromes and is a chronic, slow progressive neurodegenerative disorder. In 2030, the population of PD patients all over the world is expected to reach to 8.7-9.3 million of patients. In 1997, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) was firstly approved as an alternative treatment option in PD patients...
Sharing clinical and radiological results in patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) treated surgically with dynamic system and describing an alternative technique for scoliosis correction. Between 2013 and 2018, 48 patients with flexible degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) were operated with dynamic stabilization with Polyetheretherketon...
Introduction: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a standard surgical treatment method which is generally applied to subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson's patients in cases where medical treatment is insufficient in treating the motor symptoms. It is known that Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) treats many motor symptoms. However, the r...
Objectives
To investigate the effect of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) and to compare low-frequency versus high-frequency STN-DBS on hemodynamic parameters of the middle cerebral artery between patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease and age-sex matched healthy controls.
Patients and Methods
Eighteen patients with a...
Objective
Despite the subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment commonly used to ameliorate the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD), its effects on somatosensation is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential effects of DBS on temperature, proprioceptive, tactile, exteroceptive, pain and...

I would like to test an intrathecal drug on rats. How can I put a permanent intrathecal catheter or which experiment animal do you suggest?
