Mezlane Muhammed, a 3-year paralyzed patient who came to Denizli for treatment from Casablanca, Morocco, started to walk and talk after brain bypass surgery.
Mezlane Muhammed, a 58-year-old paralyzed patient from Moroccan Berbers who had a stroke 3 years ago and was paralyzed on the right side of his body, came to Denizli and was operated on in a private hospital when the treatments in Morocco, France and Spain did not yield results. The patient, who underwent by pass surgery on his brain 10 days ago with the technique applied for the first time in Turkey, responded to the treatment in a short time. After the surgery, Muhammed slowly started to speak and his foot and arm started to move and he started to walk with the help of a physiotherapist.
“They recommended me from America”
Mezlane Muhammed, who stayed in the hospital in the company of his wife and whose physiotherapy process continues, stated that he started to recover rapidly after the surgery and said that he was very happy to start walking and talking again. In the statement made by the hospital, “Our patient had a major stroke 3 years ago and the vessel feeding the left brain main movement center was blocked. In the early period; He traveled to health centers in Morocco, France and Spain. He was treated with blood thinners and anti-edema treatments. No surgical operation was performed. He was in a wheelchair when he came to us. He could not walk or speak. Since he had a young stroke, he was at risk of having another stroke at a later age.
“He had a 36 percent chance”
We discussed all the pros and cons with him. We told him that the operation would protect him from the next stroke attack by 90%. We also told him that he would have a 36% chance of regaining his motor functions. The patient wanted to try this chance. 10 days ago, we performed the bypass surgery and got very good results. Surprisingly, he responded very quickly after the surgery. He slowly started to speak. He completely recovered his leg functions and started to walk with a physiotherapist. Very fine movements have also started in the hands and arms. This is very important for us. With a good and long physiotherapy, his hands and arms can be able to perform their daily functions.”
