  2. Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Gamma knife radiosurgery is a radiation therapy which uses highly-focused gamma rays to treat tumors, lesions, vascular malformations and other brain abnormalities. It also treats several neurological conditions such as acoustic neuroma and trigeminal neuralgia.

  3. Indication Gamma knife radiosurgery would be recommended to you if : • You have a tumor previously deemed inoperable due to its location. • You have a medical condition that increases risk for conventional surgery. • You have a tumor that is recurrent after radiation therapy or surgery. • Your tumor was not totally removed by surgery. • You are suffering from brain tumors, brain cancer, any blood vessel defects, trigeminal neuralgia and acoustic neuroma.

  4. Pre Procedure You have to follow these pre-procedures before undergoing a gamma knife radiosurgery : • You will be asked to sign a form of consent that permits the doctors to do the procedure. • You have to undergo blood tests or other diagnostic tests to ensue that you are in good health before starting the procedure. • Women of child bearing age may need to give a urine specimen for pregnancy tests. • You have to fast for 8 hours before the procedure. • You may have to wash your hair with a specially prescribed shampoo the night before the procedure.

  5. During Procedure • The gamma knife radiosurgery may take less than an hour to about four hours, depending on your medical condition, the size and shape of the target. It starts off with you resting on a bed that slides into the gamma knife device and your head frame being attached to the helmet in it. After the attachment of the head frame you will undergo brain imaging to locate the tumor precisely. You will have an intravenous (IV) tube, most likely in your arm, to deliver fluids and medications to your bloodstream during the process

  6. More info • Once the gamma knife treatment is done, you can go back to your normal diet, medications, and activities unless your doctor instructs you differently. You will be advised to avoid strenuous activities like exercise for a specific period of time. You will also be advised to not scrub the pin sites on your head until about the week or so. Consult your doctor immediately if there are severe signs of side effects. • The cost of gamma knife radiosurgery vary as per diagnosis, medical condition and facilities availed by the patients.
