| | Stereotactic Surgery |
| | he concept of stereotactic brain surgery is simple. | | | A colorful term for this surgery is neuro-navigation! | | | This technique uses images of the brain to guide the surgeon to a target within the brain. |

| | Sterotactic Breast Biopsy |
| | Technical problems are sometimes seen in patients with small breasts or in lesions that are up against the chest wall. | | | These x-rays use much less radiation than traditional mammograms. | | | The surgeon can then identify the area at surgery. |

| | SDNDS - Stereotactic Surgery |
| | Various precise radiation methods can be used with the stereotactic technique to treat brain tumors and other lesions in a non-invasive "bloodless" manner by the use of focused radiation. | | | Stereotactic surgery has historically been performed by neurosurgons. | | | The stereotactic technique can be employed to take out deep-seated brain tumors with a minimum of damage to the overlying brain. |

| | Virtual Hospital: Stereotactic Procedure |
| | The anesthesiologist will place some electrodes on your chest so that he or she can watch your heartbeat and rhythm during the surgery. | | | At this point, the neurosurgeons come in and begin their preparations for the surgery. | | | This part of the preparations sometimes seems to take longer than the surgery. |

| | There are also procedures to relieve pressure, such as placing shunts within the fluid cavities of the brain. | | | In some cases, chemotherapy (medications) may be given in combination with radiation therapy. | | | Treatment depends on the type and site of the tumor and the condition of the patient. |

| | Most of the time, the procedure is done under local anesthesia, depending on the conditions of the patient. | | | Stereotactic Neurosurgery is used to facilitate the management of abnormal movements, therefore dealing with the symptoms and not the disease itself. | | | It consists in taking some X-rays (or other imaging aid), based in which a structure within the brain (nucleus) is located and mapped. |

| | Potential gamma knife candidates are patients whose brain lesions are in dangerous locations or whose age or illness makes conventional neurosurgery risky or impossible. | | | Gamma Knife patients should have a potential of surviving greater than six months. | | | Candidates for this surgery should generally have a Karnofsky performance status of 60 or greater. |
