Hello Vijay Ji,
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a highly advanced, noninvasive procedure used to treat brain conditions such as tumours, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and certain neurological disorders like trigeminal neuralgia. Despite its name, it is not a surgical procedure in the traditional sense—there’s no incision, no general anesthesia, and minimal recovery time.
How It Works:
-
The procedure uses precisely focused beams of gamma radiation to target abnormal brain tissue while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
A specialized head frame or mask is used to ensure accuracy.
-
The treatment is typically completed in a single session, lasting a few hours.
-
Patients remain awake throughout, though mild sedation may be given for comfort.
Benefits:
✅ No incisions, stitches, or hospital stay required
✅ Minimal side effects compared to traditional surgery
✅ High precision targeting, reducing damage to surrounding tissue
✅ Quick recovery—most patients resume daily activities within a day or two
Possible Side Effects:
Some patients may experience mild headaches, temporary fatigue, or swelling in the treated area. Serious complications are rare.
If you’re considering Gamma Knife treatment, we recommend consulting a specialist to determine if it's the right option for your condition.
