About Doctor
Qualifications:
- M.D., graduated from Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine.
- Specialization in Neurosurgery (Brain & Nerve Surgery) — completed specialization in 2003.
Overview:
Doç. Dr. Doğan Güçlühan Güçlü is a highly experienced neurosurgeon specialising in spinal health, spinal deformities (including scoliosis), spinal surgery, spine‑related diseases and complex conditions of the spine and nervous system.
His expertise covers both surgical and non-surgical management of spinal disorders — including minimally invasive spine surgery, decompression, stabilization, deformity correction, spinal stenosis, disc herniation, spinal fractures, congenital or acquired spinal deformities, scoliosis (in children and adults), and other complex spinal pathologies.
He also handles neurosurgical conditions — brain & nerve surgery, spinal cord pathologies, spinal tumors, degenerative spinal diseases, trauma-related spinal injuries, and offers comprehensive care including post‑surgical rehabilitation plans for spine health and recovery.
In addition to clinical practice, he has a solid academic record: with multiple peer‑reviewed publications (on spinal surgery, lumbar stenosis, trauma, pediatric spine surgery, surgical anatomy and technique optimization) and contributions to international neurosurgical literature.
Conditions Treated:
- Spinal deformities and scoliosis (children & adults)
- Degenerative spinal diseases — disc herniation, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, spinal instability.
- Spinal trauma — fractures, spinal cord injury, traumatic spinal conditions, traumatic spondylolisthesis.
- Spinal tumors, spinal cord and nerve‑related pathologies (e.g. tumors, nerve compression, spinal cord lesions)
- Spinal stenosis (lumbar or cervical), degenerative narrowing, neurologic symptoms due to spinal canal pathology.
- Other complex spine and nervous system disorders requiring neurosurgical or spine‑specialist intervention.
Procedures Performed:
- Spinal decompression surgeries (laminectomy, micro‑discectomy) for disc herniation, stenosis.
- Stabilization and spinal fusion surgeries (for spinal instability, spondylolisthesis, fractures) using modern neurosurgical/spine‑surgery techniques.
- Correction of spinal deformities and scoliosis (in children and adults), including deformity correction surgeries for congenital or acquired scoliosis.
- Minimally invasive spine surgeries and endoscopic spine procedures (lumbar, thoracic, cervical), using advanced surgical methods.
- Treatment of spinal tumors, spinal cord pathologies, nerve‑root compressions, spinal cord decompression — including complex neurosurgical interventions when indicated.
- Post‑operative spinal health management and rehabilitation planning (spinal health & scoliosis care continuum) as part of holistic patient care.
