Gamma Knife
The Benefits of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
Noninvasive
In Gamma Knife radiosurgery, there is no incision, the patient's head is not shaved and the treatment is virtually painless.
Shorter hospitalization
Gamma Knife treatment is one brief procedure that usually requires only one night's hospitalization. The patient can resume normal, pre-surgery activities within days of the procedure.
Reduced risks
While the results of Gamma Knife radiosurgery are comparable to traditional microsurgery, the risks of surgical complications, such as infections, hemorrhage and adverse reactions to general anesthesia, are eliminated.
Less traumatic 
Since there is no pain, no anesthesia, no long hospitalization, no long recovery and no scarring, Gamma Knife radiosurgery offers improved outcomes and enhanced quality of life.
Economical
The relatively low cost of the Gamma Knife procedure, shorter hospitalization period and elimination of cost related to convalescence, rehabilitation or extended job absence combine to make this a very cost effective treatment option.
