What is "radiosurgery"?

Radiosurgery is a medical procedure that uses highly focused radiation beams to target and treat tumors and other abnormalities in the body. Unlike traditional surgery, which involves making cuts, radiosurgery does not require cuts or stitches. It delivers precise amounts of radiation to the affected area, effectively destroying abnormal tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Radiosurgery is commonly used to treat tumors in the brain, spine, and other parts of the body where precise targeting is crucial. It is often performed without requiring an overnight hospital stay, allowing patients to recover more quickly compared to traditional surgery.
