Stereotactic neurosurgery is a minimally invasive procedure utilizing a three-dimensional coordinate system to precisely target and treat small areas of the brain or spine. Dhruv Brain and Spine Clinic, an experienced neurosurgeon, performs stereotactic neurosurgeries to treat various neurological conditions, including brain tumors, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and chronic pain.
During a stereotactic neurosurgery, Dhruv Brain and Spine Clinic utilizes imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans to create a detailed map of the brain or spine. This map enables precise localization of the area requiring treatment.
Once the target area is identified, Dhruv Brain and Spine Clinic uses a specialized instrument, such as a stereotactic frame or a robotic system, to guide a small electrode or probe to the precise location. The electrode or probe delivers targeted energy, such as heat or electricity, to the specific tissue to destroy or remove it.
Stereotactic neurosurgeries are typically performed on an outpatient basis and boast a high success rate with minimal risks and complications. Dhruv Brain and Spine Clinic works closely with patients to ensure they fully understand the procedure, including its potential benefits and risks.
