Deep seated cerebral lesion removal, guided by volumetric rendering of morphological data, stereotactically acquired clinical results and technical considerations.
The theoretical advantages of microsurgery guided by volumetric reconstruction of anatomy in stereotactic space, compared to traditional technique are discussed. Preliminary clinical results in 30 cases and technical considerations, concerning future developments, are presented.
