Summary
A novel stereotactic craniotomy technique using the Brown-Robert-Wells (BRW) frame simplifies deep brain lesion localization. This method enabled safe tumor resection in 16 patients without neurological complications.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Medical Devices
- Radiosurgery
Background:
- Stereotactic surgery enables precise targeting of intracranial targets.
- Accurate localization of deep or eloquent brain lesions presents surgical challenges.
