Gamma Knife for Obsessive Compulsive disorder ( OCD )

Despite therapeutic progress in recent years, conventional treatment of anxiety disorders fails or has only a temporary effect in 20 percent of patients. These disorders are often severely disabling and are associated with rates of suicide comparable to those of depression. First described by Leksell, psychosurgery targeting the frontolimbic connections in both anterior internal capsules (capsulotomy) is a valuable therapeutic method for selected severe cases. The first cases using the Gamma Knife to create the lesions were also performed by Leksell.

In people with OCD, the network of areas that communicate is always working, working & working. Medication and behavioral therapy can lower the activity of this brain circuitry. But some people don't respond, and I use the Gamma knife to try to cut the connection.

Gamma Knife surgery is recognized worldwide as the preferred treatment for brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations and brain dysfunctions such as trigeminal neuralgia. The Gamma Knife offers a non-invasive alternative for many patients for whom traditional brain surgery is not an option.
