The Penn Gamma Knife® Center -- Blade-Free Brain Surgery

Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a powerful and precise surgical option for patients suffering from brain tumors and other serious brain disorders. The technique is non-invasive, effective, safe and does not require an incision, making it the optimal treatment for a wide variety of conditions including benign and malignant brain tumors, blood vessel malformations, trigeminal neuralgia and tremor. The Penn Gamma Knife Center at Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia's regional leader in Gamma Knife radiosurgery, recently celebrated its fourth anniversary. In addition, Penn Neurology and Neurosurgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) are now ranked 15th in the United States by U.S.News & World Report.
