Stereotactic Radiosurgery

The National Centre for Stereotactic Radiosurgery is based at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital and provides ‘Gamma Knife’ radiosurgery treatments for a range of small tumours and vascular abnormalities within the brain.

We see and care for patients with:Acoustic Neuroma, Meningioma, Arteriovenous Malformations, Pituitary Adenoma and a range of other less common intracranial conditions.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery is a highly specialised service and the Hallamshire Hospital is the largest of a small number of centres who offer this service in the UK.

Patients are referred from across the country and abroad and travel to Sheffield for their treatment.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery uses a large number of precisely directed beams of radiation to treat the abnormal tissues or blood vessels in the brain
