Knife Radiosurgery is a neurosurgical technique for
treating brain diseases with highly focused radiation
beams. It is the most precise form of single-session
brain radiosurgery. It is bloodless. It is highly effective
for brain tumors, both malignant and benign, arteriovenous
malformations, and trigeminal neuralgia (sharp face
pains). Radiosurgery can often be used in place of
standard surgery and radiation. Patients are discharged
the day of surgery.
Neurological Surgery, P.C. is one of the New York City area’s premier neurosurgical groups, offering patients the most advanced treatments of brain and spine disorders. These include minimally invasive procedures such as stereotactic radiosurgery (Gamma Knife®, CyberKnife® and Novalis Tx™), aneurysm coiling, neuro-endoscopy, spinal stimulators, carotid stents, interventional pain management, microdiscectomy, kyphoplasty, and other types of minimally invasive spine surgery. The practice’s physicians represent a range of surgical and nonsurgical specialties, combining compassionate care with highly specialized training. They are leaders in the region’s medical community, with appointments as chiefs of neurosurgery in some of Long Island’s best hospitals.
