Gamma Knife Radiosurgery. It may have an intimidating name, but the procedure itself is giving many patients with brain tumors a highly-effective treatment option without traditional surgery. The new Proton & Advanced Radiation Center started offering Gamma Knife Radiosurgery earlier this year and our team has already successfully performed more than 100 procedures. So, exactly what is Gamma Knife and how does it work? Our team of experts explains in the video below. Plus, our 100th patient, Allan Quaife, shares his personal experience which he describes as “much easier than he expected”. Read Allan’s story here: https://bit.ly/3RT6PV3

Dr. Eftichia Kontopoulos was invited to present her latest work at the Society of Robotic Surgery's Annual Meeting, being held in Melbourne, Australia. Dr. Kontopoulos led the discussion about her research on “Repairing The Meningomyelocele With Minimally Invasive Surgery." Open spina bifida happens in approximately one in 1,500 births every year in the United States. It happens when the spine fails to close at some point along its length during fetal development. Thanks to new advances in surgical techniques, fetuses diagnosed with open spina bifida can get it repaired through surgery in utero in a minimally invasive way. ✨ Learn more about spina bifida and its most common type, Myelomeningocele. https://lnkd.in/gfmmirm5
