About

    Stereotactic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses 3D imaging techniques to precisely locate and target specific areas within the body, typically the brain. This precision allows for highly accurate and effective treatment of conditions such as brain tumors, Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and epilepsy. Stereotactic surgery involves the use of a specialized frame attached to the patient's head to ensure accurate positioning during the procedure. This approach minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue and reduces the risk of complications, leading to faster recovery times and improved outcomes for patients.
