The journey of stereotactic radiosurgery began with a simple but powerful idea: that intricate brain conditions could be treated with accuracy and care, without the need for invasive surgery. The innovators behind this vision set a new standard for what treatment could look like.

Among them is Professor Lars Leksell, whose development of the Gamma Knife significantly advanced the treatment of challenging brain disorders. His emphasis on precision, safety, and patient outcomes continues to guide clinical practice worldwide.

At Amethyst Radiotherapy UK, we are proud to carry this legacy forward. Our specialist teams deliver advanced Gamma Knife treatment with a strong focus on clinical excellence, multidisciplinary expertise, and compassionate patient care.

Today, we honour the evolution of radiosurgery - and the many patients whose lives have been changed by it.

Trigeminal neuralgia can be challenging to treat, and for many patients, medication alone may not provide lasting relief. As neurosurgical techniques continue to evolve, understanding when to introduce interventions such as microvascular decompression or Gamma Knife radiosurgery is essential for guiding high-quality patient care.

In this webinar, Consultant Neurosurgeon Mr Jonathan Hyam will provide an overview of the key neurosurgical options available and discuss how Gamma Knife radiosurgery fits within the broader trigeminal neuralgia treatment pathway.
