What is Gamma Knife Surgery?
Gamma Knife Surgery is an advanced form of stereotactic radiosurgery that treats complex brain conditions without any incision, bleeding, or hospital stay. Despite its name, there is no actual knife involved. Instead, this non-invasive procedure uses focused beams of gamma radiation to target and treat brain abnormalities with submillimetre precision, making it one of the safest and most effective options for delicate brain conditions.

At Shinon Global’s network of the best gamma knife surgery centres in India, patients benefit from the latest Leksell Gamma Knife platforms including Icon, Perfexion, and Esprit offering unmatched accuracy and reduced side effects.

Conditions Treated with Gamma Knife Surgery
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is commonly used to treat:

  • Benign and Malignant Brain Tumors: meningiomas, gliomas, brain metastases
  • Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs): Abnormal blood vessels in the brain that may rupture
  • Trigeminal Neuralgia: A chronic pain condition affecting the facial nerve
  • Acoustic Neuromas (Vestibular Schwannomas): Non-cancerous tumors affecting balance and hearing
  • Pituitary Adenomas and Functional Brain Disorders: Including selected cases of epilepsy and tremor

How Does It Work?
The Gamma Knife system delivers over 190 precise beams of gamma radiation, all converging on a single target in the brain. While each beam is too weak to damage healthy tissue individually, their convergence delivers a powerful therapeutic dose to the affected area, preserving surrounding brain structures.

The procedure is typically completed in 1 to 2 hours, requires no incision or general anesthesia, and most patients go home the same day.

With Shinon Global, you gain access to cutting-edge gamma knife treatment in India, personalized care planning, and seamless coordination with the best neurosurgeons in the country ensuring safety, speed, and excellent results.

Gamma Knife Surgery FAQs
    1. Is Gamma Knife Surgery safe for elderly patients?
      Yes, Gamma Knife is often preferred for elderly patients as it’s non-invasive, has fewer risks than open brain surgery, and typically does not require general anesthesia.

 

    1. How long does it take for Gamma Knife Surgery results to show?
      Results vary by condition. Tumors may shrink over weeks to months, while relief from trigeminal neuralgia can occur within days.

 

    1. Can Gamma Knife Surgery be repeated if needed?
      Yes, in certain cases, repeat treatments are possible especially for recurring tumors or when the initial dose was deliberately conservative.

 

    1. What are the side effects or risks of Gamma Knife Surgery?
      Mild fatigue, scalp tenderness, or temporary swelling are common. Serious side effects are rare and depend on lesion location and type.

 

    1. Is Gamma Knife Surgery painful?
      No, the procedure is painless. Most patients remain awake, and mild sedation is offered for comfort during mask or frame application.

 

    1. Will I lose hair after Gamma Knife treatment?
      Hair loss is uncommon but may occur in the area where radiation beams enter, especially in high-dose treatment zones.

 

    1. What should I avoid after Gamma Knife Surgery?
      Patients are generally advised to avoid heavy physical exertion, alcohol, and air travel for 48 hours, though most resume daily routines quickly.

 

    1. How is Gamma Knife different from CyberKnife or Proton Therapy?
      Gamma Knife uses multiple converging gamma rays for extreme precision, ideal for brain conditions. CyberKnife offers body-wide flexibility, and Proton Therapy uses protons with depth control but is costlier and less available.
