Bayfront Institute of Neurosciences Gamma Knife |
||||||||||||||
State-of-the-Art Therapy Bayfront Medical Center is one of only four hospitals in the state of Florida to offer a revolutionary alternative to conventional neurosurgery. The Gamma Knife is an extremely accurate, safe and effective medical tool for treating certain brain tumors and other neurological conditions. Many Patient Benefits There are many advantages to the Gamma Knife. Instead of performing surgery to remove unhealthy tissue, the physician uses highly concentrated beams of radiation to destroy the tumor. The precise accuracy of the Gamma Knife spares adjacent, healthy brain tissue from harm. The procedure is virtually painless and does not require general anesthesia. Because no incision is required, any potential complications from surgery are significantly reduced. Often, the Gamma Knife can be performed on an outpatient basis, eliminating the need for an overnight hospital stay.
