The Gamma Knife Perfexion is the "gold standard" in the treatment of lesions in the brain by a noninvasive surgical technique called stereotaxic radiosurgery
It is a safe, precise, bloodless procedure

The Gamma Knife uses approximately 200 beams of highly focused gamma rays
The beams are precisely aimed so as to treat only the target (tumor, trigeminal nerve, etc.) with minimal risk to adjacent brain structures

There are approximately 35 Gamma Knife Perfexion units in the U.S.
The center at Good Samaritan in West Palm Beach is one of only three Gamma Knife Perfexion centers in Florida and the only one in Palm Beach County

Most procedures take 1-4 hours

Most patients are discharged home the same day
Recovery is rapid because there are no actual incisions and general anesthesia is not required
