    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Psychiatry
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Stereotactic surgery is a neurosurgical technique used for treating various psychiatric disorders.
    • The effectiveness of psychosurgery depends on precise targeting and patient selection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the indications, target points, and outcomes of stereotactic operations for psychiatric diseases.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different stereotactic neurosurgical approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and analysis of personal experiences with stereotactic neurosurgery.
    • Selective targeting of specific brain anatomical points based on patient symptoms.

    Main Results:

    • Cingulotomy shows efficacy for addiction, depression, and chronic pain.

  • Anterior capsulotomy is effective for obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety neurosis.
  • Innominotomy benefits chronic/recurrent depression; postero-medial hypothalamotomy addresses aggression and destructive behavior.

    • Conclusions:

    • Anatomical target selection is crucial and should be individualized to patient symptoms.
    • Stereotactic neurosurgery yields good results with infrequent, mild side effects.
    • Modern psychosurgery alleviates disturbing symptoms without personality alteration.
