About Cranial Stereotactic Radiosurgery

Cranial Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) is a highly precise, non-invasive radiation therapy technique used to treat abnormalities in the brain. Performed by a Radiation Oncologist, it delivers a concentrated, high-dose beam of radiation to a specific target with sub-millimeter accuracy, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy brain tissue. Unlike traditional surgery, it requires no incision. It is commonly used for conditions like brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and trigeminal neuralgia. The procedure is typically completed in a single session or a few sessions (fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy), offering a critical treatment option for lesions that are difficult to access with conventional surgery.

Key Highlights

Non-invasive procedure with no surgical incision required.Extremely high precision, sparing healthy surrounding brain tissue.Often completed in a single outpatient session.Minimal recovery time compared to traditional brain surgery.Effective treatment for inoperable or hard-to-reach brain lesions.Can be an alternative for patients who are not candidates for open surgery./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Benign brain tumors (e.g., acoustic neuroma, meningioma, pituitary adenoma).
Malignant brain tumors (primary or metastatic).
Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) in the brain.
Trigeminal neuralgia (a type of facial pain).
Certain functional disorders like epilepsy originating from a small, defined focus.
Recurrent tumors following previous surgery or radiation.

How to prepare

Comprehensive consultation and review of medical history and imaging (MRI, CT) with the Radiation Oncologist.
A custom-fitted, lightweight head mask or frame is created to ensure immobility during treatment.
Detailed treatment planning using specialized software to map the exact target and radiation dose.
Patients may be advised to wash their hair and scalp with a specific shampoo beforehand.
Instructions regarding medications (especially blood thinners) and fasting will be provided.

Risks & possible complications

Swelling (edema) in the brain, which may require medication.
Fatigue and hair loss in the treated area.
Headaches or nausea, typically temporary.
Risk of radiation necrosis (damage to healthy tissue) in the treated area.
Potential for new neurological symptoms depending on the treatment site.
Long-term risks, though rare, can include secondary malignancies.

Recovery & hospital stay

Most patients can return home the same day after a brief observation period.
Mild fatigue, headache, or scalp sensitivity is common for a few days.
Patients should rest and avoid strenuous activity for the first week.
Any prescribed medications for swelling or discomfort should be taken as directed.
Follow-up appointments with the Radiation Oncologist are crucial for monitoring treatment response via MRI scans.
Full effects of the radiation on the target lesion may take weeks to months to become evident.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (typically outpatient)
Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks for initial recovery; full effect observed over months

A 72-year-old retired fisherman from Jaffa presented with inoperable liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Dr. Bar Orian implemented stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in five fractions. The patient, who lived alone and had limited Hebrew proficiency, showed remarkable tumor regression at 3-month follow-up with minimal side effects.
