About

Hidenori Anami is a leading figure in stereotactic radiosurgery, with a focused expertise in Gamma Knife® surgery for vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma). His work centers on advancing minimally invasive, image-guided, and robotized microradiosurgery to optimize tumor control while preserving critical neurological functions, particularly hearing and facial nerve integrity. Anami’s major contribution lies in establishing Gamma Knife® surgery as a standard, non-invasive treatment alternative to traditional open surgery, demonstrating that it can achieve comparable or superior outcomes in terms of tumor management and quality of life. His seminal 2010 paper, "Current Treatment Strategy of Gamma Knife® Surgery for Vestibular Schwannoma," has garnered 4 citations and articulates a forward-looking vision for integrating advanced imaging and robotic precision into clinical practice. By systematically evaluating long-term audio-facial nerve preservation rates, Anami has helped shift the paradigm toward radiosurgery as a first-line therapy. His work continues to influence treatment protocols, offering patients a safer, more effective option for managing this challenging skull base tumor.
