We bring our patients together with the latest medical technology.
Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
A highly precise, non-invasive radiation therapy designed to target tumors and vascular malformations in the brain. It delivers intense radiation doses directly to the affected area while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
Transforming Neurological Care
Despite its name, Gamma Knife does not involve a blade or an incision. Instead, it utilizes hundreds of focused beams of gamma radiation that intersect at a specific, targeted mass within the brain.
This allows our medical experts to treat deep-seated or difficult-to-reach lesions with pinpoint accuracy. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis.
Advantages
-
Completely Non-Invasive
No incisions mean there is no risk of surgical infection, bleeding, or the need for general anesthesia in most adults.
-
Pinpoint Accuracy
The radiation is mapped to within sub-millimeter precision, protecting critical healthy brain structures from exposure.
-
Rapid Recovery
Performed as an outpatient procedure, patients typically avoid lengthy hospital stays and return to daily life within a day or two.
Considerations
-
Delayed Results
Unlike traditional surgery, radiation takes months or even years to shrink the lesion completely.
-
Size Limitations
Gamma Knife is most effective for small to medium-sized targets. Large tumors may still require traditional surgery.
-
Temporary Side Effects
Patients may experience localized swelling, mild headaches, or temporary fatigue following the treatment session.
