What is functional radiosurgery?
Functional radiosurgery is a non-invasive procedure that uses precisely targeted radiation to treat neurological conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia, movement disorders, and certain brain lesions. It allows treatment without traditional open surgery.
Who is a candidate for functional radiosurgery?
Patients with conditions like chronic facial pain, tremors, or small, well-defined brain lesions may be candidates. Our specialists perform a thorough evaluation, including imaging and neurological assessments, to determine suitability.
What is recovery like after functional radiosurgery?
Since the procedure is non-invasive, most patients experience minimal downtime. Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as fatigue or headache. Follow-up care includes imaging and clinical evaluations to monitor treatment effectiveness.
