• Robotic Radiosurgery – Dr. Khalid Sethi, MD

     

    Non-Invasive Precision Treatment for Brain and Spine Tumors in Upstate NY

    Robotic Radiosurgery is a groundbreaking, non-invasive treatment that uses highly targeted radiation to treat tumors and other abnormalities in the brain and spine—without the need for traditional open surgery. At the practice of Dr. Khalid Sethi, we proudly offer this advanced technology to patients seeking faster recovery, reduced side effects, and excellent clinical outcomes.

     

    What Is Robotic Radiosurgery?

    Robotic radiosurgery (often performed with systems like CyberKnife® or Gamma Knife®) delivers high-dose radiation beams with sub-millimeter accuracy. It’s ideal for treating delicate or inoperable areas in the brain, spine, and skull base, especially when conventional surgery carries higher risks.

    This technique preserves surrounding healthy tissue and is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing many patients to return home the same day.

     

    Conditions Treated with Robotic Radiosurgery

    • Benign brain tumors (e.g., meningiomas, acoustic neuromas)

    • Malignant brain tumors (e.g., metastases, glioblastoma)

    • Pituitary tumors

    • Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)

    • Trigeminal neuralgia

    • Spinal tumors

    • Recurrent tumors previously treated with surgery or radiation

     

    Advantages of Robotic Radiosurgery

    • Non-invasive – No incision, no general anesthesia

    • Highly precise – Protects healthy tissue and brain function

    • Convenient – Often completed in 1–5 outpatient sessions

    • Minimal recovery time – Most patients resume normal activities within 24 hours

    • Alternative to surgery for high-risk or inoperable cases
