title: [New techniques in neurosurgery].
abstract: Society demands for exactness and low complication rates of surgical treatment are high. Surgical training in the apprentice manner has been significantly reduced in Denmark since 1981 and e.g. the ability to visualize in three dimensions among younger neurosurgeons has diminished. Computer technology now makes it possible to create 3-D images that with incorporation of functionality leads to a faster and better understanding of neuroanatomy. In addition--for the sake of precision--true robotic instrumentation and navigational instruments have been introduced. The technological investments are compensated by reduced costs due to operative complications. A prerequisite for these developments are a close collaboration between medical doctors and engineers, keeping the respect for humanity intact. A survey of developmental areas in the neurosurgical techniques of today is given.
