Gamma Knife Center Warsaw

Gamma Knife Center Warsaw has been Poland's leading specialized medical center for over 15 years. The clinic provides high-quality services and effective treatment of complex brain and nervous system lesions. Also, treatment and patient safety meet ISO requirements and recommendations of the world's leading associations. The highly qualified staff are recipients of awards from the "Health Manager" editorial board, the "Golden Scalpel" from "Pulse Medicine," and "Patients' Trust" from the All-Ukrainian medical plebiscite "Patient's Laurel. " In addition, the clinic can perform 64-slice CT and magnetic resonance imaging. In the case of small metastases and localization of tumors in the posterior part of the skull, the patient sometimes needs additional MRI with the introduction of paramagnetic contrast. Easy access to high-precision diagnostics allows doctors to quickly plan treatment and its stages. The medical center was the first in the country to use Gamma Knife Perfexion for the non-surgical treatment of brain tumor diseases. It is staffed by outstanding neurosurgeons, radiologists, oncologists, and physicists, which enables high-efficiency therapy. The latest-generation Gamma Knife Icon has enabled even fewer treatment complications due to improved installation and irradiation of more extensive tumors. This type of treatment is especially effective for acoustic neuroma, allowing the preservation of hearing function and vital brain structures. A satisfactory result is achieved in more than 97% of patients. Also, therapy can be used as an additional after-surgical remedy. GammaKnife significantly reduces the risk of complications, and 50% of post-treatment complications are temporary and resolve. The technique is also often the method of choice in the elderly, with recurrent trigeminal neuralgia, or in people with coagulopathies or on anticoagulant therapy. About 90% of cases are successful, and another 65% have no disease recurrence. Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are also cured with a significantly lower risk of cerebral hemorrhage, reducing the likelihood of disability and death. Treating tremors in frail older people with frequent renal impairment also requires minimally invasive treatment, achieved by radiosurgical thalamotomy with the Gamma Knife Icon. Warsaw Gamma Knife Clinic accepts patients with Parkinson's disease, intrasellar and pericellular tumors, meningiomas, brain metastases, acoustic tumors, trigeminal neuralgia, and cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). The hospital offers many benefits of Gamma Knife therapy, such as a 2-3 hour procedure and the patient returning home the same day. Furthermore, unlike classical radiation therapy of the whole brain, the Gamma Knife does not lead to intellectual impairment.
