Abstract
ОглавлениеAs a young neurosurgeon, Leksell trained with his mentor, Herbert Olivecrona, in the early 1930s. The experience set him off in search of a way to minimize neurosurgical trauma. Twenty years later, Leksell developed his own stereotactic instrument and published his seminal paper on how radiosurgery could potentially be done. This led to the first Gamma Knife installation in 1968. Over the subsequent 50 years Gamma Knife surgery has evolved to cover much of what is done in neurosurgery and there are more than 330 Gamma Knife centers all over the world. By the end of 2017 more than 1.2 million patients had undergone Gamma Knife surgery.
