Safe, reliable bilateral cingulotomy in India: This is considered to be the preferred treatment for brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations and brain dysfunctions. India, which is one of the most sought-after medical tourism destinations in the world, has patients from over 60 countries getting bilateral cingulotomy done here at various hospitals of Mumbai and Bangalore. Such hospitals are known for their quality services to patients and having JCI-recognized neurosurgeons that are among the world’s best. Bilateral cingulotomy removes the physical trauma and the majority of risks associated with conventional surgery. The developments in medical science have enhanced neurosurgical treatments offered to patients with brain tumors and vascular malformations by providing a safe, accurate and reliable treatment option.

How it is performed: Bilateral cingulotomy enables patients to undergo a non-invasive form of brain surgery without surgical risks, a long hospital stay or subsequent rehabilitation. Like other radio surgeries, bilateral cingulotomy is unique in that no surgical incision is made to expose the inside of the brain, thereby reducing the risk of surgical complications and eliminating the side-effects and dangers of general anaesthesia. The "blades" of the bilateral cingulotomy are the beams of gamma radiation programmed to target the lesion at the point where they intersect. In a single treatment session, 201 beams of gamma radiation focus precisely on the lesion. Over time, most lesions slowly decrease in size and dissolve. The exposure is brief and only the tissue being treated receives a significant radiation dose, while the surrounding tissue remains unharmed. The advantages of bilateral cingulotomy are that it is a neurosurgical tool designed exclusively for the treatment of brain disorders; the lesion being treated receives a high dose of radiation with minimum risk to nearby tissue and structures. The cost of this surgery is 25% - 30% less than traditional neurosurgery; the absence of an incision eliminates the risk of haemorrhage and infection.

Why India: India is on the verge of becoming the global health destination. Medical treatment in India is done in cities like Mumbai and Bangalore which offer world- class medical healthcare facilities to international patients who wish to have their bilateral cingulotomy in India. Although the surgery costs are very low as compared to UK and USA, Indian private facilities offer advanced technology and high-quality treatment at par with hospitals in the west. Each year thousands of international patients visit India for treatment and the numbers are expected to rise in the future. Medical tourism in India also offers tourism packages to foreign patients, so that after their surgery, the patients can visit various tourist destinations for recuperation, relaxation and comfort.
