What Are the Benefits of Gamma Knife Treatment?

Gamma Knife Surgery is a non-invasive alternative to conventional neurosurgery for many malignant and benign brain tumors, and several other diseases of the brain. As such, it offers dramatically improved quality of life by avoiding the complications associated with conventional neurosurgery (such as hemorrhage and infection). It also offers much shorter hospital stays (one day as compared to an average of 5-10 for conventional neurosurgery). And, in nearly all cases, it allows patients to return to work and the same lifestyle the day after treatment, instead of requiring a lengthy recovery and rehabilitation period.
