[40] He has the most experience in treating ocular malignancies by Gamma-knife Radiosurgery in India. [41] Agrawal is an authority on Gamma-Knife radiosurgery for brain tumors and vascular malformations and has extensively compared gamma knife with other forms of radiotherapy like cyberknife and proton beam and is a strong proponent of Gamma-knife vis-a-vis other modalities. [42] He has published ground breaking research on gamma knife, including a policy paper on improving neurosurgical access in developing countries using gamma knife. [43]

Neurosurgery or neurological surgery, known in common parlance as brain surgery, is the medical specialty concerned with the surgical treatment of disorders which affect any portion of the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Vestibular schwannoma</span> Benign tumor of the vestibulocochlear cranial nerve

A vestibular schwannoma (VS), also called acoustic neuroma, is a benign tumor that develops on the vestibulocochlear nerve that passes from the inner ear to the brain. The tumor originates when Schwann cells that form the insulating myelin sheath on the nerve malfunction. Normally, Schwann cells function beneficially to protect the nerves which transmit balance and sound information to the brain. However, sometimes a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene, NF2, located on chromosome 22, results in abnormal production of the cell protein named Merlin, and Schwann cells multiply to form a tumor. The tumor originates mostly on the vestibular division of the nerve rather than the cochlear division, but hearing as well as balance will be affected as the tumor enlarges.
