BRAIN: THE OPINION OF THOSE WHO THINK
The brain is the main center of the work of our body on everything. If you pay attention to the shape, there are two hemispheres that resemble a walnut and a bridge called the “corpus decosum” between them, and to be surprising in walnut, there is a bridge between both.
It is very rare that some people do not have this bridge. We call this event “Split Brain” (double brain).
We can show amazing abilities. The ability to write two different articles with a double typewriter at the same time or play two different musical instruments, superior mathematical intelligence, etc. I personally had a chance to meet such people. One of them was the president, whom I considered my favorite, who was in one of the sister branches of science to our branch. There are examples of this and similar ones in history.

HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF NEURONS
But this is about the normal brain and its exemplary tumors of this organ. The brain is an organ weighing 1.3 and 1.5 kg. The number of neurons, expressed in hundreds of billions, is what we call cells, and this includes thousands of wires connecting each cell. We call these snaps. There is also a supporting tissue, which is expressed in trillions.
It is hidden in the most sheltered place of the human body, namely in the skull. In the words of he the Mona Lisa painter, architect, sculptor and inventor Leonardo da Vinci, “it is a jewel created by God.” Such a sacred brain has not been touched for many years. Neurosurgeons are the rare people who get the chance to touch this sacred structure, and they should be. And they must have been brought up to be worthy of it.
There are many diseases of the brain. But what we want to tell you today is what are the brain tumors and their chances of treatment?
There is a saying for brain surgeries: (a phrase used mostly by the British) The word they use to avoid making a business big in their eyes: “This is not a brain surgery.”
Of course, it’s a difficult task. Assimilators who really understand this know.
Completing a neurosurgery residency and obtaining a Doctor diploma in Turkey, is just the beginning of this job. And this learning process continues for a lifetime, it should.

IT IS LIKE A POWER PLANT
I would like to point out that brain tumor surgeries are a team effort. I would also like my team to be made up of very experienced people. Everyone criticizes, “is he making his assistants do it”. But the whole point is that the patient gets out of there well. And let me tell you, a surgeon is like a powerhouse in football.

IT DOES NOT PASS TO ANYONE
Brain tumors are the leading among the decaying tumors. The figures show that thousands of people are diagnosed with a brain tumor every year, and many patients die because of it. Although the numerical equivalent of these cases is not clearly known in Turkey, 40 thousand people face this problem every year in America.
Most benign tumors can be treated with medication without the need for surgical intervention. We do not do surgery when we know that it will bring harm, not benefit. A surgeon can only make this decision with his experience and knowledge.
Brain tumor surgeries are a team effort. The entire team, from the nurse working in the neurosurgical intensive care unit to the anesthesiologist, must be trained in this regard. Surgery is the pinnacle where science meets art and ethics. It is the implementation of a good plan designed at a level of knowledge that is gradually thinned by experience.
.
ZERO MARGIN OF ERROR
It is the ability to react within seconds to unexpected situations related to the patient or the disease and to intervene flawlessly with zero margin of error. This covers artistic, philosophical and even religious attitude of neurosurgery. No matter what religion he is from, he asks God for help when he encounters difficulties, just like a soldier in a trench. The operating room is a sanctuary for us. Surgery is a collective operation; it is a collective operation.
The lucky surgeon is the surgeon who is at least as skillful as the ones, who work with him…
