Gamma Knife Surgery (AVM) Package

3 Nights in Hospital Private Room / 4 Nights Hotel

Gamma Knife® Treatment is a bloodless and painless operation that is recognized worldwide as the preferred treatment of choice for brain tumors, arterio-venous malformation (AVMs) and brain dysfunctions such as trigeminal neuralgia and pituitary adenoma. The technology of Gamma Knife itself is a major invention which maximizes its accuracy and capacity by using the imaging devices that enables the neurosurgeon to precisely locate the tumor and calculate the volume and strength of the required radiation.
From 13,200 USD

Operation Details:

Length: 1- 2 hours
Anesthesia: Local with Sedation
Hospital Stay: In-patient for 3 nights

Advantages:

• For a deep lesion such as a brain stem lesion, Gamma Knife surgery is a better and less risk alternative because the radiation can access the location of the lesion for treatment without harming the surrounding tissues. It is a high-risk method to treat a deep lesion using conventional surgery.
• Gamma Knife surgery does not require anesthesia. This greatly reduces the risks for elderly and cardiac patients. General surgery requires general anesthesia.
• A maximum of 2 days of hospitalization may be required. Conventional surgery may require intensive care, observation and more than 20 days of hospitalization.
• No risk of blood loss, infection or pain.
• No incision, no skin defect or hair shaving, no long term post-op care
• Resume normal non-strenuous activities after discharge
