Stereotactic neurosurgery
Stereotactic neurosurgery is a minimally invasive method to localize and treat targets in the brain. It is used for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
The easy, versatile and high platform rigidity of Leksell Stereotactic System ensures that critical accuracy requirements are met for this surgical discipline.
Leksell Stereotactic System®
The pioneering system within stereotactic surgery, with over 1,400 sites globally.
- Accurate—dedicated instruments with solid fixation
- Optimized design—sophisticated, yet simple
- Versatile—wide range of supported applications and stereotactic techniques
Applications
Some of the most frequently used current applications are:
- Biopsies, brain lesioning
- Positioning and implantations of electrodes
- Catheter insertions, injections and aspirations
- The stereotactic apparatus uses X, Y, Z coordinates to stereotactically localize any point in 3D space
- The multipurpose stereotactic arc employs the center-of-arc principle for encompassing the surgical target in three dimensions, enabling full access to any intracranial area
- This principle enables limitless trajectories and entry points to be used
Established workflow
Leksell® Coordinate Frame is a simple, reliable base, by several imaging techniques. Target localization and coordinate determination is simple, offering a choice of independent localization methods.
Attach the frame
- The stereotactic frame is fixed to the patient's head with adjustable fixation posts and just four small, self-tapping screws
- Only local anesthesia is needed around the screws
- Imaging can take place once the frame is attached
Imaging
- Leksell Stereotactic System is compatible with numerous imaging modalities such as MR, CT and Angio
- The different indicator boxes generate the fiducial marks during scanning
Plan
- Leksell Stereotactic System can be used with a variety of planning software applications
- Once the surgeon has localized the target, the planning software provides the required 3D coordinates using the fiducial markers as reference
Treat
- The arc and draping is attached to the frame
- X-, Y- and Z-coordinates calculated in the planning system are set on the frame for the given target
The tools used by the surgeon must be adapted to the task and where the human brain is concerned, they cannot be too refined.
