Hyderabad witness launches India’s most advanced gamma knife non-invasive brain therapy centre
Hyderabad: Amid a major milestone in neurosurgery innovation, King Hospital unveils its cutting-edge gamma knife center, bringing world-class non-invasive brain processing technology to Hyderabad. The newly launched facility is expected to change the treatment of complex brain diseases, thus providing patients with a safer, faster and highly accurate alternative to traditional brain surgery.
Gamma knife radiosurgery is known for its ability to treat brain conditions without requiring surgical incisions. It uses highly focused radiation beams to target and treat abnormalities inside the brain with submillimeter accuracy. The surgery is painless and bloodless and is usually performed on an outpatient basis, with most patients returning home on the same day. Advanced technologies are particularly effective in the treatment of brain metastasis (being and malignant), arteriovenous malformations (AVM), acoustic neuroma, pituitary tumors, and dysfunctions such as tactile neuralgia and epilepsy. It is also suitable for ideal candidate patients due to age, health status or tumor location rather than ideal candidate brain surgery.
“Gamma knife is a paradigm shift in neurooncology and neurosurgery. With this non-invasive technique, we can address this range with this precise patient and close patient.”
Dr. Bollineni Bhaskar Rao, Chairman and Managing Director of Kim Jong Il Hospital said: “We are proud to bring the most advanced gamma knife centre in South India to Kim Hospital, marking a new era in non-invasive brain therapy. This cutting edge technology reflects the options we offer through precise comfort to restore comfort to eliminate the options of comfort. Neural conditions. Our team of experts is able to use this transformative technology to provide the highest standard of care.
The new gamma knife center at KIMS Hospital is equipped with the latest model of the technology, supported by a professional team of neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists and medical physicists trained in advanced radiosurgery. The release strengthens Hyderabad’s position as a hub for advanced medical technology and super professional medical services. With this facility, the goal is to serve not only patients from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, but also those from India and neighboring countries seeking minimum invasive brain treatment.
Gamma knife transfer
For patients with brain metastases, Gamma knife treatment has proven to be a game-changer who has spread from other parts of the body to the brain. Using advanced non-invasive technology, doctors can now target multiple tumors in one sitting without surgery or hospitalization. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, gamma knife focuses only on tumors, helping to protect healthy brain tissue and reduce side effects such as memory loss. The surgery is quick and painless, and most patients return home on the same day. It provides new hope and a better quality of life for many cancer patients.
The gamma knife treats abnormalities in the brain by providing a highly focused beam of radiation without surgical incisions. It uses up to 192 individual gamma radiation beams that converge accurately at target points within the brain. This allows high doses of radiation to be delivered to affected areas while retaining surrounding healthy tissue. This process is often guided by high resolution imaging, such as MRI or CT scans, to ensure accuracy.
Prior to treatment, use a stereotactic frame or mask to stabilize the patient’s head and draw the exact coordinates of the target. The patient is awake during the procedure, which is painless and usually completed within a few hours. Because it is noninvasive, there is no risk of infection or blood loss and no general anesthesia is required. Gamma knife is particularly effective in treating brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations (AVM), trigeminal neuralgia and other functional brain diseases.
Most patients can go home the same day and resume normal activities soon after. This is a one-time outpatient procedure with minimal side effects and a high success rate.
Gamma knife: Benefits for patients
Gamma knife provides patients with an alternative to non-invasive, painless alternative to brain surgery, with no incisions, minimal risk and faster recovery. It ensures precise targeting of brain abnormalities, thereby reducing damage to healthy tissue. Most procedures are done in a meeting, allowing patients to return to their hometown on the same day, with minimal disruption.
Gamma Saber: Statistics and Data Points
Since its introduction, more than 1 million patients worldwide have received gamma knife treatment.
2. In India alone, more than 8,000 gamma knife programs are performed each year.
3. Gamma knife provides up to 90% success rate in treating certain brain tumors and dysfunctions such as trigeminal neuralgia.
4. This technology provides radiation with submillimeter accuracy, protecting over 90% of healthy brain tissue.
5. A typical gamma knife surgery takes 30 minutes to 2 hours and does not require hospitalization.
6. More than 90% of patients resume normal activity within 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
7. It has proven effective in treating more than 20 types of brain diseases, including malignant and benign tumors, AVM and neurological pain syndrome.
8. The latest models used on KIMS can treat multiple lesions in one session, reducing overall treatment time.
9. For trigeminal neuralgia, patients often relieve pain within 48 hours after surgery.
10. Studies have shown that gamma knife patients have lower complications, with less than 2% of side effects compared to traditional surgery.
