    Uzbekistan conducts its first successful brain surgery for Parkinson's disease

    Uzbekistan conducts its first successful brain surgery for Parkinson's disease

    In a groundbreaking medical achievement, Uzbekistan conducted its first complex technological minimally invasive operation for the surgical treatment of Parkinson's disease. The procedure took place on December 26 at the Department of Neurosurgery and Clinic of Samarkand State Medical University, as reported by the university's press service.

    During the operation, a 63-year-old patient who had been battling Parkinson's disease for five years underwent the successful implantation of a neurostimulator. This device is designed to transmit impulses and stimulate the brain, offering a potential avenue for managing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

    The operation was a result of an international scientific and practical seminar and master class featuring Professor Said Ozturk, a leading specialist from the Medical Park clinic in Istanbul, Turkey. The Medical Park clinic is renowned for performing a wide range of complex neurosurgical operations, totaling 1000 different types, according to the university.

    Following the successful procedure, an agreement was established between the Department of Neurosurgery of Samarkand State Medical University and the Medical Park Clinic. The collaboration focuses on training personnel for the surgical treatment of Parkinson's disease at the specialized scientific and practical center for neurosurgery and neurorehabilitation of Samarkand State Medical University.

    Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting movement and causing various physical and mental challenges. The World Health Organization describes symptoms that include tremors, involuntary muscle contractions, sleep disturbances, pain, and cognitive issues.

    While Parkinson's disease remains incurable, its symptoms can be managed through different therapeutic approaches and medications. Unfortunately, the disease often leads to disability and increased dependence on external assistance. In some cases, individuals with Parkinson's disease may also develop dementia.

    Although the disease is more commonly associated with older individuals, it can affect younger people as well. The precise cause of Parkinson's disease is unknown, but there is an increased risk among individuals with a family history of the condition. Environmental factors such as air pollution, exposure to pesticides, and solvents may also contribute to the risk.

    The report from Samarkand State Medical University highlights the global prevalence of Parkinson's disease, affecting 1-3 out of every 1000 people (0.1-0.3%). Notably, the university underscores the recent increase in the number of people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in Uzbekistan.
