Gamma Knife treatment is especially valuable for those patients
who are at high risk for surgical complications due to other medical
conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, as well as those
whose lesion is situated in an inaccessible or functionally critical
area of the brain, making a surgical approach difficult or risky.
Selection of appropriate patients for Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
is made by the Gamma Knife Team and is based on individual case
analysis, taking into account existing imaging studies, physician
records, and patient age and health.
You want to be healthy inside and out, so you eat carefully and exercise. You manage your stress, train your dog, have fun with your kids and balance your checkbook, so nothing bugs you. So why would you ever need a colonoscopy?
