| stereotactic radiosurgery | definition: surgical procedure involving the destruction of tumors and other lesions in the brain by means of high-energy rays. The exact location of the tumor is pinpointed by a scanning device so that a single dose of radiation is directed to that precise spot. This decreases the exposure of normal brain cells to the radiation and also avoids long brain surgery and hospitalization.
