Psychosurgery

866
Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Radiotherapy

Background:

  • Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a non-invasive technique for precise brain lesion creation.
  • It offers treatment options for functional brain disorders when pharmacoresistance or inoperability is present.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current and future indications for functional brain stereotactic radiosurgery.
  • To assess the evidence level for these SRS applications.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of functional brain stereotactic radiosurgery indications.
  • Analysis of treatment evidence and multidisciplinary team requirements.

Main Results:

  • Trigeminal neuralgia is the most established SRS indication.
  • Emerging indications include movement disorders, refractory epilepsy, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and severe depression.

Conclusions:

  • Functional brain SRS is expanding beyond trigeminal neuralgia.
  • Successful SRS requires highly trained, collaborative multidisciplinary teams including physicists, surgeons, neurologists, psychiatrists, and radiologists.
