Patients are typically in and out of the hospital in a day’s time – and back to a normal routine soon after treatment. Gamma Knife radiosurgery may be used in place of, or in addition to, traditional surgery or whole brain radiation, depending on a patient’s diagnosis.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is recognized worldwide as the preferred treatment for brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations and brain dysfunctions such as trigeminal neuralgia. The Gamma Knife offers a non-invasive alternative for many patients for whom traditional brain surgery is not an option. Gamma Knife surgery removes the physical trauma and the majority of risks associated with conventional surgery.
