  • reduces treatment period by 80%
  • is cheaper than traditional radiotherapy.

  • The procedure is non-invasive. Doctors operate with Gamma Knife in one day without an overnight hospital stay.
  • No discomfort during the treatment as far as the device adapts to the patient's breathing and movements during the treatment.
  • Exact point hit — the Perfection divides the radiation into 8 sectors that helps to target only the diseased tissues and save the healthy ones.
  • Excellent image processing that helps to analyze each step of the therapy.
  • Perfection Gamma Knife can deliver a high dose of radiation in 26 targets during one procedure. This is a very important for people who have a lot of disease foci.

Da Vinci XI system is the most advanced minimally invasive option for colorectal, general, urological, gynecological, thoracic complex surgeries.

 

The Da Vinci XI robot helps the surgeon to:

 

  • perform a precise surgery though 3D-HD imaging (a surgeon monitors and controls all robotic movements)
  • cut down operating time
  • make minimal incisions and reduce recovery after the procedure.
