  Julia had had surgery on her lower back four years ago when Hytham Rifai, MD, a neurologist at Methodist Hospitals had performed a lumbar disectomy.
  ...
  When this new pain persisted, Julia went back to Dr. Rifai.
  ...
  After reviewing Julia's case, Dr. Rifai recommended a new minimally invasive lumbar spine procedure, called AxiaLIF. AxiaLIF It is a completely novel approach for an otherwise long-standing familiar operation. Dr. Rifai is the first doctor in Northwest Indiana to use it. The approach is far less invasive compared to other techniques. There is almost no tissue damage and the normal anatomy of the spine is not changed or impaired.
  
  "This procedure provides the same results as the more invasive procedures that we have done in the past. The benefit to this procedure is that it results in a simpler, safer procedure for the patient with minimal blood loss, shorter hospital stay and much quicker recovery," stated Dr. Rifai.
  ...
  This procedure and Dr. Rifai changed my life."

  Dr. Hytham Rifai, director of the hospital's neurosurgery department, said Gamma Knife surgery is safer and more effective than cutting directly into the brain."It can treat areas of the brain without damaging other parts, without (causing) side effects to the rest of the brain," Rifai said.
  ...
  Rifai said the center should be finished by the end of the year (2002)
  
  He and other hospital officials held a news conference Monday to unveil plans for the Gamma Knife Center and other upcoming additions to the hospital.
  
  The Gamma center will occupy part of a new 96,000-square-foot building that will house all the hospital's neuroscience, neurosurgery and oncology services.It's called Center for Advanced Clinical Studies. plans show it as a three-story building, connected to the southwest corner of the existing hospital at 8701 Broadway.
  
  At the center, which should be completed by early 2003, patients can receive "one-stop treatment" for brain cancer and other neurological disorders, Rifai said."Someone can come to the building and know all the doctors and treatment he needs are there," Rifai said."He won't have to go anywhere else.We get patients from as far as Knox and Lafayette, and we want them to get a complete checkup without leaving the building."
  
  Rifai said 85 percent of brain and nerve problems require oncology and neuroscience services.That's why hospital officials wanted to locate those services together in one building, he said.

  Rifai said patients with brain tumors often traveled to the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic or University of Chicago Hospitals for treatment.
  
  "The hospital decided to bring the treatment to residents," Rifai said of the Merrillville-based hospital.
  
  Methodist Hospitals officials showcased the new Gamma Knife Center on Wednesday.
  
  The gamma knife can be used to treat brain tumors, both cancerous and non-cancerous, as well as blood vessels that aren't properly formed, facial pain caused by nerve problems, and deep brain functional disorders including Parkinson's disease.
