Background: Gamma‑knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has emerged as one of the mainstream modalities in the treatment of many neurosurgical conditions. The indications for Gamma knife are ever‑increasing and presently more than 1.2 million patients have been treated with Gamma knife worldwide. Objective: A neurosurgeon usually leads the team of radiation oncologists, medical physicists, nursing staff, and radiation technologists. Seldom, help from anesthetist colleagues is required in managing patients, who either require sedation or anesthesia. Methods: In this article, we try to elucidate anesthetic considerations in Gamma‑knife treatment for different age groups. With the collective experience of authors involved in Gamma‑Knife Radiosurgery of 2526 patients in 11 years with a frame‑based technique, authors have tried to elucidate an effective and operational management strategy. Results: For pediatric patient (n = 76) population and mentally challenged adult patients (n = 12), GKRS merits special attention given its noninvasive nature but problems of frame fixation, imaging, and claustrophobia during radiation delivery become an issue. Even among adults, many patients have anxiety, fear, or claustrophobia, who require medications either to sedate or anesthetize during the procedure. Conclusion: A major goal in treatment would be a painless frame fixation, avoid inadvertent movement during dose delivery, and a fully wake, painless, and smooth course after frame removal. The role of anesthesia is to ensure patient immobilization during image acquisition and radiation delivery while ensuring an awake, neurologically accessible patient at the end of the radiosurgery.
