Neurosurgery Gamma Knife

The Gamma Knife is a non-invasive radiosurgery method used to treat various brain conditions.

The Gamma Knife technology uses multiple fine beams of gamma rays that converge at a single point, providing precise targeting of pathological tissues (tumors, arteriovenous malformations, neuralgias, and others). As a result, surrounding healthy tissues receive minimal radiation exposure, reducing the likelihood of complications. The Gamma Knife does not require incisions or craniotomy. This significantly lowers the risks associated with traditional surgical interventions and shortens the patient’s recovery time.
