These proceedings from the Xth Congress of the European Society for
Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery in Stockholm reflect the
growing interest in these fields of neurosurgery. It is the most
extensive volume in this series of publications and it contains a
large number of original articles pertaining to the most recent
advances in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. Not long ago
stereotactic neurosurgery was considered an esoteric sub speciality
practised only by those involved in treating movement disorders and
pain. In the last decade we have witnessed the incorporation of
stereotactic methodology in the management of common neurosurgical
diseases, and the stereotactic technique is now practised in all
major neurosurgical centers. As with other surgical techniques and
tools, however, the utilization of stereotactic methods requires
special knowledge and training. This book comprises articles which
give insight into new stereotactic applications and technology. For
example, the usage of stereotaxis without a frame and the so-called
navigator systems in open tumor surgery is dealt with in two
papers. The introduction and development of radiosurgery is closely
linked to the advancement of stereotactic technique. Radiosurgical
treatment of tumors and cerebrovascular diseases has been one of
major achievements in modern neurosurgery. This publication
contains several original reports illustrating the efficacy of
radiosurgery in problematic neurosurgical diseases.
