Gamma Knife surgery is the most accepted and widely used radio surgery treatment in the world. Developed more than 30 years ago, the gamma knife is a sophisticated instrument that allows brain surgery to be performed without a scalpel. A non-invasive alternative to open brain surgery, the gamma knife eliminates the risk of surgical complications to the brain. The Gamma Knife was developed in 1968 by Dr. Lars Leksell in Sweden. As of June, 1994, over 21,000 patients had been treated with the Gamma Knife worldwide for a wide variety of brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, and many types of functional disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, chronic pain and trigeminal neuralgia, the Gamma Knife provides a fairly non-invasive way to successfully treat these ailments. Despite its name, the Gamma Knife isn't a knife but is a machine that delivers a single, finely focused, high dose of radiation to its target, while causing little or no damage to surrounding tissue. Abnormalities measuring 1 inch in diameter the size of a small pebble can be treated with the Gamma Knife.
During Gamma Knife surgery in India, the patient wears a helmet with tiny holes through which radiation beams--about the thickness of a strand of hair--pass into the brain. The physician completely immobilizes the patient's head to ensure the aim of the radiation beams is accurate. The radiation beams converge upon the tumor and react on a molecular level with the cancer cells to stop them from reproducing. This kills the cancer. With the Gamma Knife, post-treatment complications are greatly reduced, patients' hospital stays are shortened, and areas of the brain for which other therapies or conventional surgery are ineffective can be successfully treated. The Gamma Knife's precision and safety make it a highly appropriate choice for both pediatric and adult patients.
