Specialization and Surgical Focus

Dr. Taskapilioglu treats a variety of conditions affecting the brain and nervous system. He treats brain tumors, brain herniation, hydrocephalus, and craniosynostosis — a condition where a baby's skull bones join together too early. The specialist also performs epilepsy surgery and addresses congenital spine issues. These procedures help restore function and reduce neurological symptoms in patients.

His surgical practice involves neuroendoscopic methods for spine surgery and vascular neurosurgery. Dr. Taskapilioglu also performs stereotactic and functional procedures.

His research primarily explores the treatment of glioblastomas — a fast-growing type of brain tumor. This work involves studying how different substances interact with tumor cells.

• Studied the effects of ficus carica latex on glioblastoma cells.
• Researched olea europaea leaf extract as a potential treatment.
• Investigated the impact of high-voltage overhead power lines on brain health.
