Ten years ago, the Sklifosovsky Institute began work on the Radio Surgery Center. A full cycle of assistance to patients with brain diseases has been formed at the center.
Consensus
- The Center for Radiosurgery at the Skliifosovsky Institute in Moscow is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
- The center has provided high-tech medical assistance to over 7,500 patients since its inception.
- More than 8,000 high-tech operations have been performed at the center over the past 10 years.
- The center is the only unit in Moscow's healthcare system equipped with a 'Gamma-Knife' device.
- The 'Gamma-Knife' allows treatment of brain tumors, vascular pathologies, and certain functional disorders without open surgery, incisions, or anesthesia.
- Patients are hospitalized for only one day and remain conscious during the procedure, returning to normal life immediately after.
- The center will relocate to a newly constructed building after its completion.
- The new facility will include modern equipment, including a 'CyberKnife' device.
- The 'CyberKnife' will enable treatment of pathologies throughout the entire central nervous system, unlike the 'Gamma-Knife', which is limited to intracranial conditions.
