Gamma Knife radio surgery is a type of radiation therapy used to treat tumors, vascular malformations and other abnormalities in the brain. Gamma Knife radio surgery, like other forms of stereotactic radio surgery (SRS), is not surgery in the traditional sense because there is no incision. Instead, Gamma Knife radio surgery uses specialized equipment to focus about 200 tiny beams of radiation on a tumor or other target with sub millimeter accuracy. Although each beam has very little effect on the brain tissue it passes through, a strong dose of radiation is delivered to the place where all the beams meet. The precision of brain stereotactic radio surgery results in minimal radiation delivery to healthy tissues surrounding the target. Gamma Knife radio surgery is usually a one-time therapy completed in a single day.
This type of radiation treatment is usually performed when:
Gamma Knife radio surgery is most commonly used to treat the following conditions:
Tell your doctor if you:
Before the procedure begins, you'll have a lightweight frame attached to your head with four pins. This frame will stabilize your head during the radiation treatment and serve as a point of reference for focusing the beams of radiation. During this process:
After the head frame is attached, you'll undergo imaging scans of your brain that show the location of the tumor or other abnormality in relation to the head frame. The type of scan used depends on the condition being treated:
You'll lie on a bed that slides into the Gamma Knife machine, and your head frame will be attached securely to a helmet inside the machine. You'll have an intravenous (IV) tube that delivers fluids to your bloodstream to keep you hydrated during the day. A needle at the end of the IV is placed in a vein, most likely in your arm. The time needed to complete the procedure may range from less than an hour to about four hours, depending on the size and shape of the target. During the procedure:
Gamma Knife radio surgery is usually an outpatient procedure, but the entire process will take most of a day. You may be advised to have a family member or friend who can be with you during the day and who can take you home. In some cases, an overnight stay in the hospital may be necessary.
Gamma Knife radio surgery doesn't involve surgical incisions, so it's generally less risky than traditional neurosurgery.
Early complications or side effects are usually temporary. Some people experience mild headaches, a tingling sensation on the scalp, nausea or vomiting. Other side effects may include:
After the procedure, you can expect the following:

Gamma Knife radio surgery is nearly 90 percent successful in killing or shrinking brain tumors or stopping their growth.
An individual who would be at risk for complications from conventional surgery may be a candidate for Gamma Knife radio surgery. Gamma Knife treatment can be used when prior surgery or radiation therapy has failed to control the disease process.
Gamma knife treatment is primarily limited by size, because the treatment of lesions larger than 3.5 to 4.0 cm in average diameter results in the surrounding normal brain tissue receiving an excessive dose of radiation.
Gamma knife surgery is a nearly painless computer-guided procedure that delivers highly focused radiation to tumors in the brain.
It may take weeks, months, a year (or sometimes longer) to see the effects of treatment. For example, pain relief for patient with trigeminal neuralgia can occur anytime between 1 day and 6 months, with most patients improving within 1 month. Cancerous tumors typically shrink over a period of weeks to months.
While individual patient outcomes may vary, patients normally resume their normal pre-surgery lifestyle within 24 hours. The effects of Gamma Knife radio surgery occur over several days to several years, depending on the type of medical condition treated.
You may experience headache, nausea, fatigue or irritation at the pin sites in the days after the procedure. The pin sites typically heal on their own. They do not need to remain covered past the day of your treatment.
