  • Title: [Neuronavigation. Computer-assisted surgery in neurosurgery].
    Author: Nabavi A, Manthei G, Blömer U, Kumpf L, Klinge H, Mehdorn HM.

    Abstract:
    Computers in Neurosurgery were limited to diagnostics, planning stereotactic procedures, Radiosurgery and Radiation therapy. The possibility of intra-operative localisation only evolved since the mid 80's with the advent of more powerful computers. The computer adds more precision to microneurosurgical procedures, allowing neuronavigation in interaction with the computer. Diverse neuronavigationsystems are described in the literature [7-9, 11, 13]. We are working with the "ISG Viewing Wand" since april 1994. 113 operations were planed and executed aided by this system. We report on our experiences, the advantages and limitations of this system.
