For which type of surgical procedures can a radiosurgical unit be used?
A radiosurgical unit can be used every time you would use a scalpel. Since operations can be performed without tension, pressure or sliding of the tissue, it is suited for any type of procedure, especially when very fine incisions are required, and if minor or major bleeding is expected. The absolute sterility of cuts along the cutting line of the electrode is a major advantage during radiosurgery, as this prevents germs from being transported (as is often the case when using a scalpel).
