Stereotactic neurosurgery uses external frames to guide brain procedures like electrode placement and biopsies. Modern techniques aim to reduce patient trauma while enhancing surgical planning and accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Stereotactic neurosurgery traditionally involves rigid mechanical frames attached to the skull.
  • Early applications focused on electrode placement.
  • Advancements in imaging and computing have expanded its utility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution and applications of stereotactic neurosurgery.
  • To highlight advancements in frameless stereotaxy and computational tools.
  • To discuss the role of stereotactic radiosurgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical and current stereotactic neurosurgery techniques.
  • Integration of computed tomography (CT) and advanced computing for surgical planning.
  • Application in biopsy, resection guidance, and radiation therapy.
