Abstract
The effect of shock waves on biological systems has been extensively researched for its traumatic effects. Few research groups have attempted and successfully harnessed the power of shock waves for therapeutic benefits. In neurosurgical applications, shock waves have been explored as a brain dissection tool. However, the difficulties of controlling the effects of shock waves preclude the safe use of shock waves in neurosurgery. The present study focuses on understanding the effects of shock waves on meningiomas, tumours that arise from the protective layers of the brain. Freshly excised meningioma specimens, subjected to shock waves generated manually using a Reddy tube, were examined.
