• Gamma Knife® SRS is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure that takes less than a day.
• Side effects (headaches, nausea) are rare and usually temporary.
• Patients typically return to their normal routine within a day of the procedure.
• Gamma Knife poses no risk of post-surgical bleeding and infection, nor is there general anesthesia from which to recover as with conventional surgery.
• Gamma Knife may cost less than conventional surgery. Also, the expenses of disability and prolonged convalescence associated with conventional surgery are avoided.
