Hyderabad has taken a major step forward in brain healthcare with the launch of a new Gamma Knife Centre at KIMS Hospitals. This advanced facility offers a non-surgical way to treat complex brain conditions, making treatment safer, quicker, and more precise.
The Gamma Knife is not a traditional knife. It’s a high-tech system that uses focused radiation beams to treat brain problems without making any cuts. This method delivers pinpoint doses of radiation to areas deep inside the brain, with sub-millimeter accuracy. The entire procedure is painless, bloodless, and usually done on an outpatient basis, meaning most patients go home the same day.
This treatment is ideal for brain conditions like brain tumors, both benign and cancerous, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), acoustic neuromas, and pituitary tumors. It is also useful for treating trigeminal neuralgia, epilepsy, and other functional brain disorders. Older patients or those with health risks who can’t undergo traditional brain surgery can greatly benefit from this approach.
Dr. Manas Panigrahi, Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon at KIMS Hospitals, called the new technology a turning point in neurosurgery. “With Gamma Knife, we can now treat complex brain issues with extreme accuracy. It’s non-invasive and causes minimal disruption to a patient’s life,” he said.
Dr. Bollineni Bhaskar Rao, Chairman and Managing Director of KIMS Hospitals, highlighted the importance of the launch. “We are proud to introduce South India’s most advanced Gamma Knife Centre. This is a big leap in making brain treatments safer and more comfortable. We’re committed to providing world-class care with the best technology available,” he said.
The centre features the latest Gamma Knife model, operated by a team of highly trained neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical physicists. Their expertise ensures top-quality care for each patient.
With this new facility, KIMS Hospitals aims to serve not just patients from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, but also from all over India and nearby countries. The launch also strengthens Hyderabad’s growing reputation as a leading destination for advanced medical care and super-specialty treatment.
