Dr. Amr El-Bakry

Dr. Amr El-Bakry is a highly specialized neurosurgeon with a focused expertise in functional brain surgery, movement disorders, and complex neurosurgical procedures involving the brain and spine. His medical career combines advanced academic qualifications, international fellowship training, and extensive hands-on surgical experience in treating challenging neurological conditions.

He is particularly known for his work in Parkinson’s disease surgery, refractory epilepsy, functional neurosurgery, and brain tumor surgery, especially in cases that do not respond adequately to conventional medical treatment.

Academic Qualifications and Professional Training

Dr. Amr El-Bakry obtained:

• Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery

• Master’s Degree in Neurosurgery

• Doctorate (MD) in Neurosurgery

In addition to his academic background, he completed an advanced Neurosurgical Fellowship at the University of Oregon, USA (2014–2017). During this fellowship, he received specialized training in:

• Functional brain surgery

• Surgical management of movement disorders

• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease

• Advanced epilepsy surgery

• Surgical management of complex brain tumors

This international exposure allowed him to adopt modern neurosurgical techniques and apply globally recognized standards of care in clinical practice.

Parkinson’s Disease, Brain, and Spine Surgery Center

Dr. Amr El-Bakry leads a specialized center dedicated to:

• Neurosurgery

• Spine surgery

• Functional brain surgery

• Surgical treatment of movement disorders

The center focuses on managing complex neurological cases that require precise diagnosis, multidisciplinary evaluation, and advanced surgical intervention, particularly for patients whose conditions have progressed beyond effective medical therapy.

Functional Brain Surgery

Functional neurosurgery aims to modify abnormal brain activity in specific regions responsible for movement, sensation, or neurological control, without damaging surrounding healthy brain tissue.

Conditions treated through functional brain surgery include:

• Parkinson’s disease

• Essential tremor

• Involuntary movements

• Muscle rigidity and dystonia

• Certain chronic neurological pain conditions

These procedures rely on high-precision imaging, neuro-navigation systems, and accurate identification of functional brain targets.

Parkinson’s Disease Surgery

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that significantly affects movement, balance, and quality of life. Dr. Amr El-Bakry has performed numerous Parkinson’s disease surgeries, particularly for patients with advanced symptoms and insufficient response to medication.

One of the most effective surgical techniques used is:

• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

DBS involves implanting fine electrodes into specific areas of the brain, connected to a programmable neurostimulator that regulates abnormal neural signals.

Benefits of DBS surgery include:

• Reduction of tremors and stiffness

• Improved motor control

• Decreased dependency on medications

• Enhanced daily functioning and quality of life

Each case undergoes comprehensive neurological and imaging evaluation before surgical decision-making.

Refractory Epilepsy Surgery

Refractory (drug-resistant) epilepsy is diagnosed when seizures cannot be adequately controlled with medications. In such cases, surgical intervention becomes a highly effective treatment option.

The treatment process includes:

• Precise localization of the epileptic focus using EEG, MRI, and functional imaging

• Neurological and functional assessment

• Selection of the most appropriate surgical approach

Surgical options may include:

• Resection of the epileptic focus

• Functional disconnection procedures

• Neurostimulation techniques in selected cases

These interventions aim to significantly reduce seizure frequency or achieve complete seizure control.

Brain Tumor Surgery

Dr. Amr El-Bakry is experienced in the surgical management of brain tumors, both benign and malignant. His approach focuses on:

• Maximum safe tumor removal

• Preservation of neurological function

• Minimizing postoperative complications

Each tumor case is evaluated individually based on tumor type, size, location, and its impact on surrounding brain structures, ensuring a tailored surgical strategy.

Movement Disorders Surgery

Movement disorders encompass a wide range of neurological conditions that impair voluntary and involuntary motion, including:

• Tremors

• Muscle spasms

• Involuntary movements

• Motor control disorders

When medical treatment fails to provide adequate relief, surgical intervention using functional neurosurgery techniques may offer significant improvement.
