About
Yuko Ono is a leading authority in stereotactic radiosurgery, with a focused expertise in the treatment of vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma). Her work is centered on advancing Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) as a precise, minimally invasive alternative to traditional microsurgery. Ono’s major contribution lies in refining the therapeutic strategy for these benign brain tumors, demonstrating that GKS offers exceptional tumor control while significantly improving the preservation of audio-facial nerve function. Her seminal 2010 paper, "Current Treatment Strategy of Gamma Knife Surgery for Vestibular Schwannoma," establishes a framework for image-guided, robotized microradiosurgery, a technique that has been cited 4 times and serves as a cornerstone for modern clinical protocols. By systematically comparing outcomes of GKS versus surgical resection, Ono has helped shift the standard of care toward radiosurgery for appropriate patients, reducing morbidity and enhancing quality of life. Her work continues to influence neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists worldwide, cementing her reputation as a pioneer in non-invasive neurosurgical oncology.
