Gamma Knife Recovery - Penn State Neurosurgery 6

How soon will regain normal activity after Gamma Knife treatment?
Dr. Leila Tchelebi – Radiation Oncologist

What is Gamma Knife? Gamma Knife radiosurgery replaces a surgeon's scalpel with a single dose of radiation. This is not a knife in the normal sense of the word. The physician makes no incision in your head. Instead, very precisely focused multiple beams of radiation at one tie and are directly pointed at the treatment area of the brain. This procedure is simple, painless, and straight-forward.
