Turker Kilic — a Turkish neurosurgeon and one of the pioneers of Gamma Knife radiosurgery in Turkey. He was the first to apply this method for brain tumor treatment in the country — in 1997, after training at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.
His main clinical focus areas are brain tumors and cerebrovascular diseases.
He works in two modalities: open microsurgery and Gamma Knife. The combination of these two methods makes it possible to choose the optimal approach for each individual patient, and sometimes to use them sequentially.
Kilic is the founder and the first dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Bahçeşehir University (BAU); he currently serves as dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Istinye University.
He is also the founder of the Turkey Brain Foundation and the Istanbul Institute of Neurological Sciences (2020).
He was elected to the European Academy of Sciences and Arts (2014) and to the World Academy of Art and Science (2021).
He has more than 200 scientific publications, more than 6,000 citations, and an h-index of 40. He has been invited to lecture at Harvard Medical School, Yale University, Johns Hopkins University, and Politecnico di Milano.
According to patient reviews from open sources, Kilic’s practice is traditionally in demand for diagnoses such as arteriovenous malformation, brain metastases, acoustic neuroma, meningioma, trigeminal neuralgia, pituitary adenoma, and cavernoma.
For a patient with a brain tumor or a cerebrovascular anomaly, this is a clear and strong choice: a doctor with proven experience in Gamma Knife radiosurgery and brain microsurgery since 1997, with a strong academic background and international recognition.
Neurosurgery.
Subspecialties: brain tumors, cerebrovascular diseases (including arteriovenous malformations and cavernomas), Gamma Knife radiosurgery.
According to his own pages, he combines microsurgery and Gamma Knife as complementary methods.
Clinical focus areas: Gamma Knife radiosurgery and microsurgery for brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, cavernomas, acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, brain metastases, and trigeminal neuralgia.


Medical Park Göztepe Hospital Complex (BAU Medical Faculty Medical Park Göztepe), Istanbul.
The key advantage of this center is the combination of Gamma Knife radiosurgery and open microsurgery within a single team.
In radiosurgery centers around the world, Gamma Knife procedures are often performed only by radiation oncologists with no open-surgery practice; here, however, Gamma Knife procedures are performed by practicing neurosurgeons, which makes it possible to evaluate the tumor and make decisions from a surgical standpoint.
Gamma Knife Icon is one of the most modern radiosurgery devices, with positioning accuracy of about one-eighth of a millimeter. This is important for tumors located near vital brain structures.
The center treats international patients: it provides online consultations, accepts MRI scans before arrival, treatment usually takes a single session, and the patient may be discharged on the same day.
Used for brain tumors, pituitary adenomas, meningiomas, cavernomas, trigeminal neuralgia, metastases, arteriovenous malformations, and acoustic neuromas.
