Is Gamma Knife cost-effective?
In comparison to conventional neurosurgery, Gamma Knife treatment offers patients substantial benefits in terms of results and costs. Financial savings include:
- Lower treatment cost - Gamma Knife treatment is 30 to 70 percent less expensive than hospitalization for craniotomy and surgical resection
- Fewer charges because most patients are released within 24 hours
- Faster recovery eliminates the hidden costs of long convalescence
