Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Precision and Expertise at Dr. Rao’s Hospital

Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Precision and Expertise at Dr. Rao’s Hospital

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a cutting-edge, noninvasive treatment modality that revolutionizes the management of complex brain and spinal conditions. At the forefront of this advanced technique are Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla and his team at Dr. Rao’s Hospital, renowned for their expertise and commitment to excellence in neurological care.

What is Stereotactic Radiosurgery?

Despite its name, stereotactic radiosurgery is not traditional surgery. Instead, it is a form of radiation therapy that precisely targets abnormal tissues within the brain and spine. SRS delivers a high dose to the affected area, utilizing highly focused radiation beams while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. This precision makes it an ideal treatment for various conditions, including brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), trigeminal neuralgia, and certain functional disorders.

Advantages of Stereotactic Radiosurgery

  • Non-invasive: Unlike traditional surgery, SRS requires no incisions, reducing the risk of infection and other complications.
  • Precision: The advanced imaging and targeting technologies used in SRS ensure that radiation is accurately delivered.
  • Minimal recovery time: Patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
  • Outpatient procedure: Most SRS treatments are outpatient, eliminating the need for a hospital stay.

The SRS Process at Dr. Rao’s Hospital

  • Initial Consultation:

  • Treatment Planning:

  • Using advanced software, a personalized treatment plan is developed. The plan outlines the exact coordinates for radiation delivery, ensuring maximum precision.

  • SRS Procedure:

  • Patients are positioned in a stereotactic frame or mask on the day of the procedure to immobilize the head. The treatment is then administered using a specialized machine, such as the Gamma Knife or CyberKnife, which delivers focused radiation beams to the target area.

  • Follow-up Care:

  • After the procedure, patients are monitored for any immediate side effects and receive instructions for post-treatment care. Follow-up visits are scheduled to assess the treatment’s effectiveness and manage any long-term effects.
