Has anyone had stereotypical radio surgery for a brain lesion?

Question

Was it successful? Can you give details of the experience?

Answer 1

Candidacy requirements for such a procedure are very strict, as the size of the lesion cannot exceed a certain size.

I've seen it work on masses when they were detected very early. For small lesions, I think the stereotactic (not stereotypical) radiosurgery is a great alternative to an open procedure because there isn't any "collateral damage" and there is really no recovery time involved.

Answer 2

never heard of it, but HAVE heard of the "gamma knife" surgery at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina. Maybe an option... many blessings to you.
