BGS Global Hospitals, part of the Global Hospitals Group announced the launch of an innovative Stereotactic Radiosurgery procedure which takes just four minutes to treat brain tumours.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery is a specialized technology of reaching the tumour (a focal point) in the brain through three dimensional measurements and calculations. This is done by a special instrument called Stereotactic Frame which will give the coordinates to reach the target tumour and radiation is delivered to the tumour without damaging the neighbouring structures. The procedure involves delivery of a single, high dose of radiation to a small and critically located brain tissue through the intact skull.
Dr. N. K. Venkataramana, Vice-Chairman and Chief Neurosurgeon, BGS Global Hospitals said, "Stereotactic Radiosurgery offers a great advantage in treating benign tumours as well as brain tumours located in critical areas without an open surgery. This method has become the standard of treatment all over the world for the Arteriovenous Malformations of the brain wherein surgery is of high risk. In addition, people with multiple medical problems who are otherwise not fit to undergo neurosurgery now have an option of Stereotactic Radiosurgery. Today's refined technology has made it acceptable to neurosurgeons worldwide by providing comparable and safe results. In addition, this technology has brought down the time of treatment to just four minutes by providing enormous amount of patient comfort. Safety, speed and accuracy are what neurosurgeons can achieve today in Stereotactic neurosurgery through this modern technology. Stereotactic Neurosurgery is a team work by Neurosurgeons, Physicists and Radiation Oncologists. BGS Global Hospitals hopes to make a real change in the field of Neuro-Oncology and serve the needy ones better in the future."
