Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery is a surgical discipline that deals with the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and extracranial cerebrovascular system.
Neurosurgeons not only perform brain surgeries, but are also trained in treating a variety of conditions that include back and neck pain, spinal cord herniation, lumbar spinal stenosis, head/spinal cord trauma, infections, tumours of the spine, some forms of movement disorders, and much more.
Sunway Neuroscience Centre specialises in a highly precise and focused treatment called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using Leksell Gamma Knife® Icon™. This highly sophisticated and non-invasive treatment uses a beam of radiation to damage targeted tissue in a very precise manner while minimising exposure to healthy surrounding tissues and critical structures.
