Medical Procedures Explained in Detail

1. Gamma Knife Radiosurgery

A non-invasive, highly precise treatment used for:

• Brain tumors

• AVM (arteriovenous malformations)

• Trigeminal neuralgia

• Functional disorders

How Gamma Knife Works

• No incision, no anesthesia for most cases

• The patient wears a lightweight stereotactic frame to ensure accuracy

• Multiple focused gamma-ray beams converge on the target

• High-dose radiation destroys the tumor or lesion without damaging surrounding tissue

• Procedure lasts 30–90 minutes

• Patients go home the same day

Why It’s Chosen

• Maximum precision

• Zero bleeding

• Zero incision

• Ideal for deep or high-risk brain areas

2. CyberKnife Radiosurgery

A robotic radiation system used for:

• Brain tumors

• Spine tumors

• Recurrent cancers

• Functional neurological conditions

How CyberKnife Works

• Completely frameless

• Uses real-time imaging to follow tumor movement

• Robotic arm directs radiation beams from hundreds of angles

• Allows treatment of lesions that move with breathing

• Sessions take 30–60 minutes

• Usually delivered over multiple sessions (1–5)

Why It’s Chosen

• Perfect for spine tumors and lesions near nerves

• Extreme precision with robotic flexibility

• No pain, no incision, no hospital stay

3. Functional Neurosurgery

Includes:

• Deep brain stimulation (DBS)

• Surgeries for epilepsy

• Interventions for movement disorders

Approach

• Comprehensive neurological evaluation

• Mapping and targeting of functional areas

• Minimally invasive techniques

• Tailored treatment for each patient

4. Advanced Spine Surgery

Covers:

• Disc herniation

• Spinal tumors

• Spinal instability

• Minimally invasive spine procedures
