Medical Mondays: Gamma Knife Radiosurgery

By Neurosurgery, February 29, 2016

On this week’s Medical Mondays video, learn about Gamma Knife® radiosurgery, one of the most precise, powerful, and proven treatments for brain disorders. This painless, non-surgical procedure uses hundreds of highly focused radiation beams to target tumors and lesions within the brain. During its 28-year history at UPMC, Gamma Knife radiosurgery has proven effective for more than 13,750 patients.

Here, you’ll also learn about:

Conditions treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery
Recovery after Gamma Knife radiosurgery
Traditional and radiation therapy vs. Gamma Knife radiosurgery

To learn more about Gamma Knife radiosurgery at UPMC, call 1-877-986-9862 or visit our department website.
