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

How is Gamma Knife different than other Radiosurgery devices .

A hernia associated with a stoma is known as a parastomal hernia. Like other abdominal wall hernias, parastomal hernias result in a noticeable bulge and can have irritating symptoms. Mayo Clinic colorectal surgeons often use robotic surgery to repair the hernia, resulting in a shorter hospital stay and greatly improving patients’ quality of life.

SCTS 2024 | “Minimally Invasive and Endoscopic AF Ablation” With Timo Weimar | At the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery Annual Meeting 2024, Professor Timo Weimar presented "Minimally Invasive and Endoscopic AF Ablation." In his presentation, he discussed access limitations in minimally invasive surgery and the fact that access needs to follow optimal therapy to deliver the acceptable current standard of care. He highlighted the importance of using the appropriate procedure for the right patient and not sacrificing the right procedure just for the incision. https://ow.ly/6P9h50SZLiO

Doctors believe the best way to treat mesothelioma is with a multimodal approach, combining surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation. A recent study shows both surgery-first and chemo-first methods have their benefits. Consult with your medical team for the best plan for you. https://lnkd.in/grxn9yPx #Mesothelioma #CancerTreatment

Really enjoyed getting to share some of the work our lab has done at the UT Southwestern Medical Center Surgery Research Forum! This hard work was accomplished with lots of collaboration and teamwork! Abstract presented: Single-Cell Transcriptomic Prolfiling of Traumatic Brain Injury-Induced Heterotopic Ossification.

We understand what surgeons want to see, and how they want to see it. With Ceevra, the anatomical structures we include in our 3D models are tailored for each specific surgery type. Urological, Thoracic, Gynecological, & General HPB Surgery. Surgeons can selectively show/hide each anatomical structure for clear understanding of critical structures and relationships.
