About Me
Yusuf Şükrü Çağlar, M.D. is a Neurosurgeon with a private practice specializing in spinal surgery , neurooncology and he is a Professor of Neurosurgery at Ankara University. With its awareness of being the first university of the Turkish Republic, Ankara University is locked on to the target of reaching the highest level of modern civilization under the guidance of reason and science. Prof., Dr. Çağlar is also locked on the target of reaching the highest level of modern civilization under the guidance of reason and science, and he always has been.

Yusuf Şükrü Çağlar was born in this the capital city of Turkey in 1963. Early on, he showed a great capacity for learning in his days during his f irst, middle and high school education at TED Ankara College. His Exam results for the University ranked him first for selection and placement. He maintained this drive for excellence and graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at Ankara University first in his class. Dr. Çağlar then won two research fellowships . One Fellowship was spent at the University of Zurich with a focus on Microsurgery, and he trained along side trained alongside Yaşargil'in Ghazi. The other Fellowship concerned research on the brain cell transplants at the Department of Neurosurgery, University of Birmingham, England in the Transplantation Program. Dr. Çağlar also served in the military for a year as a military doctor. With his success with the TUS ( ÖSYM 's Residency Examination for Medical Doctors) he began his residency in Neurosurgery Ankara University Faculty of Medicine Department of Neurosurgery after completing his residency, he took on the role of Assistant Professor Department of Neurosurgery, ANKARA UNIVERSITYDepartment of Neurosurgery, ANKARA UNIVERSITYDepartment of Neurosurgery, ANKARA UNIVERSITYDepartment of Neurosurgery, ANKARA UNIVERSITYat the University. In a few years he would receive another Fellowship which took him to the University of Arkansas and where he did research on spine biomechanics. On his return to Turkey and Ankara University, he was given the title Associate Professor which in 2005 became a full Professorship. He holds memberships in European Association of Neurosurgical Societies, EANS; Turkish Neurosurgical Society, TNS; and the American Academy of Neurosurgery. He is also a member and the General Secretary of the Execuitive committe of Turkish Neurosurgical Societyhe. He swas the president of Turkish Neurosurgical Socity, during the WFNS congrees in Istanbul in 2017
This professor/doctor is well appreciated in his homeland of Turkey, and he is valued internationally. He is a lecturer at the University of Helsinki in Finland and has been a guest lecturer in the United States. He has spoken at 90 conferences.

Microneurosurgery towards new horizons
1108 10:10-10:20
Skull Base/304A
Microneurosurgery is entering a new era characterized by the integration of cutting-edge technologies that expand the boundaries of what is surgically achievable. This advancement is driven by tools, such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), intraoperative fluorescence, neuronavigation, endoscopy, and exoscopy. Through detailed case studies across various neurosurgical conditions, we illustrated how these innovations enhance surgical planning, execution, and outcomes. AR and VR provide immersive environments for preoperative simulation and intraoperative guidance, improving accuracy and reducing operative time. Intraoperative fluorescence assists in precise identification and resection of pathological tissues. Neuronavigation offers precise anatomical localization and enhances safety during complex procedures. The adoption of endoscopic and exoscopic techniques enables minimally invasive surgery with superior visualization. When combined with the foundational skills of microneurosurgery, these technologies lead to new horizons in patient care. Embracing these advancements allows neurosurgeons to push the limits of the current practice, leading to improved patient outcomes and setting the stage for future innovations in the field. ---
