  • Title: Woroschiloff's locating device for interventions on the spinal cord and its influence on spinal stereotaxis.
    Author: Nádvorník P.
    Journal: Appl Neurophysiol; 1985; 48(1-6):247-51. PubMed ID: 3915650.
    Abstract:
    111 years ago the first locating device for the spinal cord was constructed, which became the basis for the contemporary spinal cord stereotaxy. Woroschiloff invented this device to operate stereotactically in different spinal cord segments. Nowadays only the fixation of the spinal cord stereotactic device to the wound retractor has changed from his concept, and control of the surgical instrument has been improved in three perpendicular planes corresponding to the special stereotactic maps of the human spinal cord.
