Mustafa Kilic

Mustafa Kilic is a neurosurgeon and Associate Professor at Istinye University in Istanbul. He specializes in neuromodulation, which involves using electrical stimulation to adjust nerve activity for Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and chronic pain. Kilic is also a member of the Turkish Neurosurgical Society.

Specialization in Neuromodulation

Kilic performs Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to treat movement disorders like Parkinson's and essential tremor. He uses Spinal Cord Stimulation and Sacral Nerve Stimulation to treat chronic pain. These techniques involve implanting devices that send electrical signals to specific nerves. This approach helps patients reduce reliance on medication and improves physical function.

He also uses Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation for Trigeminal Neuralgia. This procedure uses heat to block pain signals from the trigeminal nerve. Additionally, he provides surgical solutions for Vagus Nerve Stimulation to help control seizures in epilepsy patients.

Neuro-oncology and Spine Surgery

Kilic treats tumors within the brain and spinal cord. He performs microsurgical tumor removal to preserve neurological function. The doctor also provides surgical and non-surgical care for spinal and cervical disc herniations. His practice covers the entire patient journey, including preoperative evaluation and postoperative adjustments.
