Stereotaxic surgery

Stereotaxic surgery is a precise medical technique used to locate and operate on specific areas within the brain. Using a special 3D coordinate system, medical professionals guide instruments through small openings in the skull to target exact regions. This approach minimizes damage to surrounding tissue and allows procedures like biopsies, injections, or implants to be performed with high accuracy. Stereotaxic surgery is commonly used in neuroscience research and for treating certain neurological conditions, ensuring interventions are both effective and safe by navigating the brain’s complex structure with detailed spatial precision.
