Gamma Knife: precision neurosurgery without incisions
The Gamma Knife technology is a revolutionary approach in neurosurgery, enabling high-precision radiation surgeries on the brain without physical incisions. This method utilizes focused radiation to treat brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, and neural disorders such as trigeminal neuralgia. The precision of the Gamma Knife is so refined that it targets only the pathological tissues, minimizing impact on healthy brain areas.
Working Principles and Benefits
The Gamma Knife employs up to 192 cobalt-60 sources to direct radiation precisely to the targeted area. Statistics reveal that approximately 70-90% of patients undergoing Gamma Knife procedures for brain tumors achieve stabilization or reduction in tumor size. Due to the non-invasive nature of the method, patients experience significantly fewer complications and quicker return to everyday life compared to traditional surgery.
Advancements in medical imaging technologies such as MRI and PET are integrated with the Gamma Knife to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. This ensures a high precision in radiation therapy, which is critical for protecting vital brain structures and nerve endings. Such an approach avoids open surgical interventions, significantly reducing risks associated with infections and lengthy recovery periods.
