A simple stereotactic craniotomy system using computed tomographic scanner software and a personal computer was developed. This approach facilitates stereotactic volumetric resection of deep-seated brain lesions without complex facilities.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Stereotactic volumetric resection of deep-seated intracerebral lesions typically necessitates advanced and costly infrastructure.
  • Existing methods often involve complex and expensive equipment, limiting accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simplified system for stereotactic craniotomy.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of using readily available technology for precise neurosurgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized integrated software from a computed tomographic (CT) scanner for preoperative planning.
  • Employed a personal computer for intraoperative orientation and guidance.
  • Developed a straightforward stereotactic system for lesion resection.

Main Results:

  • The described system enables stereotactic volumetric resection of deep-seated intracerebral lesions.
  • The approach simplifies the technical requirements for stereotactic neurosurgery.
  • Preoperative planning and intraoperative navigation were effectively achieved.

Conclusions:

  • A cost-effective and less complex system for stereotactic craniotomy is feasible.
  • This simplified approach can enhance the accessibility of stereotactic volumetric resection for deep-seated brain lesions.
