Gamma Knife Radiosurgery, Central Lateral Thalamotomy, and Chronic Neuropathic Pain: A Prospective Single-Center Study With Long-Term Follow-Up.

Objective: We present our experience in using Gamma knife surgery (GKS) on the posterior part of the central lateral nucleus (CLp) for refractory neuropathic pain, examining its long-term efficacy and safety in patients with one of the longest pretreatment pain duration in the literature. Furthermore, we examined certain factors that might influence the outcome of this technique.

Methods: We conducted a prospective study involving 9 patients who underwent GKS between 2020 and 2023.

Clinical and Imaging Outcomes After Trigeminal Schwannoma Radiosurgery: Results From a Multicenter, International Cohort Study.

Background And Objectives: An international, multicenter, retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes and tumor control rates after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for trigeminal schwannoma.

Methods: Patient data (N = 309) were collected from 14 international radiosurgery centers. The median patient age was 50 years (range 11-87 years).

Gamma Knife radiosurgery and refractory glossopharyngeal neuralgia: a single-center series with long-term follow-up.

We present our experience with Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) and refractory glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN), analyzing its usefulness and safety in patients with or without previous surgeries, another concomitant neuralgia, or retreats. In addition, we study some factors that could condition the outcome of this technique. According to our review, our follow-up is the longest in the literature.

Stereotactic radiosurgery for treatment of radiation-induced meningiomas: a multiinstitutional study.

Objective: Radiation-induced meningiomas (RIMs) are associated with aggressive clinical behavior. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is sometimes considered for selected RIMs. The authors investigated the effectiveness and safety of SRS for the management of RIMs.

The benefit and risk of stereotactic radiosurgery for prolactinomas: an international multicenter cohort study.

Objective: The most common functioning pituitary adenoma is prolactinoma. Patients with medically refractory or residual/recurrent tumors that are not amenable to resection can be treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). The aim of this multicenter study was to evaluate the role of SRS for treating prolactinomas.

Stereotactic radiosurgery for tremor: systematic review.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to offer an objective summary of the published literature relating to stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for tremor and consensus guideline recommendations.

Methods: This systematic review was performed up to December 2016. Article selection was performed by searching the MEDLINE (PubMed) and EMBASE electronic bibliographic databases.

Long-Term Outcomes in the Treatment of Classical Trigeminal Neuralgia by Gamma Knife Radiosurgery: A Retrospective Study in Patients With Minimum 2-Year Follow-up.

Background: Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) is one of the alternatives for treatment for classical trigeminal neuralgia (TN).

Objective: To retrospectively analyze long-term outcomes for TN using GKRS achieved at our institution.

Methods: One hundred seventeen patients with medically refractory TN treated by GKRS at our institution were followed up between 1993 and 2011.
