title: Determination of the burr hole-site using the Brown-Roberts-Wells stereotactic system. A simple marking technique: technical note.
abstract: The authors describe a new tool-set with which the determination of the burr hole-site using the BRW-stereotactic system can be done on a non-sterile-washed head. The described attainment permits an increased security, not only reducing exposure of the operative field to a minimum but also shortening the operative length. The use of this tool-set for marking smaller superficial cortical processes is also possible.
