Our lovely patient from Azerbaijan had been suffering from lumbar disc herniation (herniated disc) pain for 5 years and was seeking healing.
We are proud to have accompanied him on this journey.
Before surgery:
Severe lower back pain
Sciatic pain radiating to the legs
Numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness
Under the expert hands of Dr. Kamran Aghayev, the TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Fusion) surgery was successfully performed.
Today, our patient can walk without pain and has returned to a healthy daily life.

From Iraq to Istanbul: A Journey to Healing
Today, we celebrate a very special success story. Our patient came all the way from Iraq after a long and challenging journey, searching for a solution to his severe back problem.
He had undergone multiple lumbar surgeries in the past, but continued to suffer from Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, persistent pain, leg symptoms, and severe discomfort affecting his daily life.
Dr. Kamran Aghayev performed a TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) surgery. The procedure was a great success. All his leg pain and lumbar disc herniation symptoms completely disappeared.
Today, he is pain-free, walking normally, and has returned to a happy and active life.
Success stories like this inspire us every day to help patients regain their quality of life.

We were honored to welcome a patient who traveled all the way from Macedonia to be treated by Dr. Kamran Aghayev for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS).
After a detailed evaluation and precise surgical planning, Dr. Aghayev performed the surgery successfully. The patient has now fully recovered, returned to normal life, and is feeling healthy and happy again.
It’s always inspiring to see patients regain their quality of life after years of discomfort.

After 30 years of suffering with constant headaches, neck pain, dizziness, and fatigue, Mrs. Åsa from Sweden finally found hope in Istanbul.
She was diagnosed with Eagle Syndrome & jugular vein compression and came to Prof. Dr. Kamran Aghayev for surgery.
Today, after a successful operation, she is smiling again — pain-free and full of life.
Never lose hope. The right treatment can change everything.

Our patient, who underwent Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) surgery, had long been suffering from arm pain, numbness, and weakness.
After a successful surgical operation, the recovery process is progressing rapidly.
The pain that used to affect daily life before the surgery is now left behind.
In the postoperative period, both the symptoms have decreased, and the quality of life has significantly improved.
Although each patient’s journey is different, the right intervention at the right time can change a life.
For us, the greatest happiness is seeing our patients regain their health.

After a long and challenging search, a patient from Russia contacted our clinic seeking help for Eagle Syndrome — a rare and often misunderstood condition. He had consulted many specialists but was unable to find a surgeon with the necessary experience and understanding.
Following an in-depth evaluation, we performed surgery that included a styloidectomy, C1 shaving, and C1 decompression. The procedure was completed successfully, and the patient is now recovering very well.
We are committed to providing advanced care for complex neurosurgical conditions, and we are pleased to have been able to support this patient on his path to recovery. We wish him continued health and strength.

After enduring persistent symptoms for a long time, dear Ayşe came to us and was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS).
Following a successful bilateral surgical procedure, her recovery journey is progressing with strength and hope.
Every patient’s path is unique; every healing process is a new beginning.
Ayşe’s resilience, patience, and unwavering belief played a vital role in her recovery.
We are grateful for her trust and for allowing us to walk this journey with her.
Here’s to a new chapter—one filled with health and renewed strength.

What is DISH Disease?
(Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis)
DISH is a condition where extra bone forms along the spine. Over time, this can make the spine stiff and less flexible. It can also affect other areas like the hips, knees, or shoulders.
Who gets it?
It usually happens in people over 50. The exact cause is unknown, but it may be linked to aging, diabetes, or genetic factors.
Common symptoms:
Stiffness, especially in the morning
Back or neck pain
Difficulty bending or turning
Trouble swallowing (if the neck is involved)
If symptoms are severe or affect daily life, surgery may be considered.
If you have ongoing stiffness or back pain, it's a good idea to get checked.

5 Early Warning Signs of a Lumbar Herniated Disc
1. Persistent Lower Back Pain
Ongoing back pain, especially after sitting for long periods, may indicate disc pressure.
2. Tingling or Numbness
Sensation of pins and needles in the legs may point to nerve compression.
3. Muscle Weakness
Struggling to lift everyday items or noticing reduced strength could be a sign of nerve involvement.
4. Sciatica Pain
Pain that radiates from your lower back down the leg is a classic symptom of disc herniation.
5. Pain Worsens with Movement
Bending, lifting, or twisting increases the pain; this should not be ignored.
If you recognize any of these symptoms, early diagnosis and treatment are essential.
As a neurosurgeon, I encourage patients to seek evaluation before the condition progresses.

We recently had the privilege of treating a patient from Azerbaijan who was diagnosed with a trigeminal schwannoma—a rare and challenging tumor located deep within the skull, near critical cranial nerves.
She arrived with uncertainty and hope. Under the care of Dr. Kamran Aghayev, the tumor was completely and safely removed using advanced microsurgical techniques. The patient recovered well and has now returned to her normal life, without neurological deficits.
Her story is a strong reminder that:
Even complex brain tumors can be treated successfully
Expert surgical care makes a difference
We wish her and all our patients around the world wellness and health.

Successful Eagle Syndrome Surgery – Another Life Changed!
We are proud to share the story of our patient who traveled all the way from the United States to Istanbul to seek help for his long-standing Eagle Syndrome.
After suffering for years from severe symptoms — including head pressure, throat pain, and ear discomfort — he finally found relief with Dr. Kamran Aghayev. We performed a precise surgical removal of the elongated styloid process, the root cause of his symptoms.
The surgery was a complete success, and we’re thrilled to report that all of his symptoms have completely disappeared. He has returned to his daily life pain-free and full of energy!
Thank you for trusting us with your health. We’re honored to help patients from around the world reclaim their quality of life.
