Factors influencing the genesis of neurosurgical technology.
30 Aug 2009 
For any new technology to gain acceptance, it must not only adequately fill a true need, but must also function optimally within the confines of coexisting technology and concurrently available support systems. As an example, over the first decades ... Read more...
Early history of the stereotactic apparatus in neurosurgery.
30 Aug 2009 Stereotactic neurosurgery has a rich history, beginning with the first stereotactic frame described by Horsley and Clarke in 1908. It is now widely used for delivery of radiation, surgical targeting of electrodes, and resection to treat tumors, ... Read more...
16 May 2009 INTRODUCTION: After completing a craniotomy, whenever possible, it is crucial to replace and fix the removed bone flap to the cranium; this in order to keep the brain's protection as well as for cosmetic purposes. Visible skull defects might cause ... Read more...
