Asklepios Hospital Barmbek
Gamma Knife treatment for brain tumors at Asklepios is carried out at the Radiosurgery Center. The procedure is performed by a radiologist and a neurosurgeon.
Irradiation does not require incisions and is completely painless. It is performed under light sedation. During the procedure, the patient's head is fixed with a special helmet to exclude any movement. It increases the effectiveness of treatment.
The duration of Gamma Knife procedure for brain tumor is from 30 minutes to 2 hours. If a tumor is small, 1 session of irradiation is enough.
The cost of Gamma Knife treatment for brain tumor depends on the neoplasm type and its size.
