Abstract:
A modification of the standard Laitinen stereotactic device is described for use in three-dimensional localization of a herniated lumbar disk. A similar alteration of several other stereotactic devices into a 'whole body,' which would be applicable to endoscopic operations of the lumbar spine, could be easily done, if the frame includes a semicircular arc with a radius of 15 cm or more.
