A member asked:
Does gamma knife radiation surgery effect ability for a man to have children later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: With any type of radiation, the risk of side effects depends on the dose and body part being irradiated. Gamma knife is a technique that delivers a high dose to a small area of the body. If the testicles and pituitary gland are not exposed to a significant dose of radiation, fertility should not be effected.
