Treatment Benefits
Cost EffectiveRecent studies show that Gamma Knife radiosurgery is typically 30-70 percent less costly than conventional microsurgery depending on the diagnosis and patient condition. Faster RecoveryPatients treated with the Gamma Knife are able to return to normal activities within a few days, compared to the extended convalescence required for patients undergoing conventional surgery. Proven Clinical Track RecordStereotactic radiosurgery is supported by more than 40 years of well-documented research, evaluation and clinical use. Gamma Knife technology has been approved by the Federal Drug Administration and the results of treatment with the Gamma Knife are regularly published in peer-reviewed medical journals. Safety and clinical effectiveness of the Gamma Knife have been established since 1967 and worldwide, more than 50,000 patients have been treated. Having few moving parts, the Gamma Knife provides inherent safety, stability, accuracy, reliability and reproducibility. Complex treatments are uniformly delivered with confidence and high accuracy. Reduced RisksWhile results of Gamma Knife radiosurgery are comparable to conventional microsurgery, the risks of incurring a new neurologic deficit are considerably lower. In some patients with inoperable brain lesions, it is the only option. |
