Stereotactic device

A stereotactic apparatus is a medical equipment used to precisely position instruments inside the brain. It is widely used in neurosurgery to perform precise and safe brain surgeries.

The stereotactic apparatus consists of three main components: a frame, a head fixture, and guidance instruments. The frame is a metal structure that is installed on the patient’s head and serves as the basis for the head restraint and instruments.

The head support is designed to hold the patient's head still during the procedure. It usually consists of several adjustable elements that allow it to be customized for a specific patient.

Guiding instruments allow precise positioning of instruments within the brain. They can be used to biopsy tumors, remove brain cysts and perform other procedures.

The stereotactic apparatus uses a coordinate system that allows precise location of instruments within the brain. This coordinate system may be based on anatomical landmarks of the patient's head or on data obtained from computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.

The use of a stereotactic apparatus allows for more precise and safe neurosurgical procedures, which reduces the risk of damage to healthy brain tissue. It can also be used in scientific research to precisely position electrodes inside the brain to study brain function.

Overall, the stereotactic apparatus is an important tool for performing precise and safe procedures on the brain. Thanks to its use, neurosurgeons can provide a higher level of patient care and achieve better results in the treatment of various brain diseases.

Stereotypical settings - a new stage in the development of neurosurgical instruments

In the 80s of the twentieth century, specialists in the field of neurosurgery developed fundamentally new technologies for the treatment of neurological diseases. They were based on the use of complex neurophysiological principles
