Neurosurgery Stereotactic

Stereotactic neurosurgery is a branch of neurosurgery that develops methods for treating diseases of the nervous system by local impact on the deep structures of the brain and spinal cord using the stereotactic method.

The stereotactic method involves precise positioning of surgical instruments in specified areas of the brain using special stereotactic frames that are fixed on the patient’s head. This allows the surgeon to most accurately localize the target area in the deep structures of the brain and influence it, minimally damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.

Stereotactic neurosurgery is used to treat diseases such as Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and various movement and mental disorders. The main treatment methods are stereotactic destruction, stimulation and implantation (eg, deep brain stimulation). Compared to traditional open neurosurgery, stereotactic surgery is significantly less invasive and traumatic for the patient.

Stereotactic neurosurgery is one of the branches of neurosurgery that deals with local effects on the deep structure of the brain and spinal cord for the treatment of diseases of the nervous system. This method is the most accurate and effective treatment method, avoiding damage to surrounding tissues and organs.

Stereotactic neurosurgery is based on the use of special equipment - a stereotactic frame, which allows you to accurately determine the location of the deep structure of the brain. During surgery, the surgeon uses special instruments, such as microsurgical instruments, to remove or reposition diseased tissue.

One of the main advantages of stereotactic neurosurgery is the possibility of precise local impact on the deep structure of the brain, which avoids damage to neighboring tissues and organs, and also reduces the risk of complications. In addition, this method makes it possible to perform operations even on very complex brain structures, such as the pituitary gland, cerebellum and others.

However, like any other treatment method, stereotactic neurosurgery has its limitations and risks. For example, this method may be less effective in treating some brain diseases, such as tumors that are deep in the brain. In addition, stereotactic intervention may lead to complications such as infection, bleeding, or nerve damage.

In general, stereoactic neurosurgery is an effective method for treating diseases of the nervous system, which allows precise impact on the deep structures of the brain and reduces the risk of complications. However, before undergoing surgery, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and discuss all possible risks and benefits with a specialist.
