Benefits of Gamma Knife radiosurgery for acoustic neuroma include:
- Extreme precision: Allows a powerful dose of radiation to be delivered with no or minimal damage to healthy surrounding tissue and cranial nerves.
No incision: Results in fewer complications such as bleeding, infection, or cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
- Painless: Does not require general anesthesia, eliminating the related potential side effects.
- Few side effects: Low risk of permanent facial weakness and rare need for follow-up surgery to restore proper facial functioning, including eyelid closing, excessive tearing, or dry eye.
One-time treatment: Performed in a single session, often on an outpatient basis and only occasionally requiring an overnight stay.
- No down time: Patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately, with no rehabilitation necessary.
- Repeatable: Treatment potentially can be repeated once without risk if the tumor did not respond as expected.
Low cost: Covered by most insurance plans and costs much less than traditional treatments.
