Abstract

Stereotactic surgery is based on three-dimensional coordinates, which accurately localize the area of interest. With the advancement of radiology, essentially any specific region within an organ can be localized with stereotactic equipment. In neurosurgery, stereotactic technique is especially beneficial since the localization allows for conduct of minimally invasive surgery, thereby preserving other important structures in brain.
