Hi.

Gamma knife is a specialized focused form of radiation that aims to destroy tumors or other lesions with pinoint accuracy.  This tends to be less morbid, less bloody and more acceptable to many patients.  The use of this technique has been gaining wide acceptance.  

The risk of major complications may even be less than the standard surgeries.  If you have any other fears, there is still time to discuss these adequately and in depth with your doctors.

Regards and God bless.
