MORE and more people are dying or suffering from fatal diseases such as brain tumours, mammarian or breast cancer and brain haemorrhage due to a lack of proper medical care.However, things may change as the Srisiam Hospital in Bangkok has now established the first ever Radio Surgery Institute in Thailand -- (there are presently more than 100 radio surgery centres around the world).
Radio surgery is a modern technique which doesn't require surgery in order to remove cancerous growth or tissues. It involves a three dimensional method known as Stereotaxic Surgery, which is also used in conjunction with radiation equipment known as the Linear Accelerator.
With this new technology, doctors are able to removal cancerous tissues embedded deep inside the brain or near sensitive organs that makes normal surgery very difficult and risky. With radio surgery, every step is controlled by computers and patients are conscious while they undergo treatment.
This new technique is also capable of treating diseases such as Artero Venous Malformation (the clotting of veins or blood capillaries in the brain).So far, ninety per cent of the radio surgery treatments have been successful and patients only have to remain in hospital for three days. Additionally, there is no need for patients to shave their heads and radio surgery causes no scar, little blood loss and is not expensive.For more information contact the hospital at srisiam ksc.th.com.
