stereotactic surgery
Stereotactic surgery is a minimally invasive technique used to precisely target specific areas within the body, often in the brain. It utilizes advanced imaging technologies, such as MRI or CT scans, to create a three-dimensional map of the area being treated. This allows surgeons to accurately deliver treatments, such as radiation or biopsies, while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
This method is commonly used for various conditions, including tumors, vascular malformations, and certain neurological disorders. By using a frame or a computer-guided system, surgeons can perform procedures with high precision, leading to shorter recovery times and reduced risks compared to traditional open surgery.
