A member asked:
Does gamma knife radiation surgery effect ability to produce children?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Gamma knife is a targeted method for delivering radiation to a site routinely in the brain or spinal cord. Because of this targeting, there's less chance of collateral damage to bystander organs like those of your reproductive system.
