Gamma Knife
Patient Information
Gamma Knife surgery has many advantages over open surgery; the risk of complications is less and it is a gentler form of treatment for the patient. Gamma Knife surgery can normally be performed in a day, and the convalescence time is extremely short.
Gamma Knife staff members at the New England
Gamma Knife Center at Rhode Island Hospital have prepared this
information so patients will be able to better prepare for their
Gamma Knife procedure and know what to expect before, during and
after treatment. We've also included a glossary of terms associated
with Gamma Knife treatment.
We are happy to answer any questions that are not covered in this
guide, and we encourage you to call the center at 401-444-4257.
The New England gamma Knife Center is affiliated with the Comprehensive
Cancer Center at Rhode Island, The Miriam and Newport Hospitals.
