[Title] => The advantages of Leksell Gamma Knife surgery
[Summary] => For doctors who employ conventional surgical techniques on brain tumors, risk assessment is a fact of life. They must wrestle with the knowledge that the same procedure designed to save a patient’s life exposes the patient to the risk of infection, hemorrhage, spinal fluid leakage, and adverse reaction to anesthesia.
For patients faced with the prospect of invasive brain surgery, the cost of the procedure and loss of income associated with long hospitalization and convalescence can become as large a burden as the tumor itself.

[Title] => Surgery sans blood
[Summary] => There was a time when patients suffering from brain tumors and other brain-related afflictions had no other option but to go under the knife for treatment.
After the open surgery, they then had to spend at least six weeks in the hospital for a convalescence and rehabilitation period. This meant that aside from the operation bills, they also had to shell out for their prolonged hospital stay.
All these have changed with the advent of the Leksell Gamma Knife, a non-invasive surgery procedure that requires no incisions and does not necessitate a long hospital stay.
