[A simple stereotaxic surgical apparatus].

A simple apparatus based on the classical stereotactic method of surgery offers the opportunity to master miniinvasive procedures in neurosurgery and neurotraumatology. This device is particularly helpful in evacuation of intracerebral spontaneous and traumatic haematomas and in stereobiopsies, i.e. the most frequent operations in clinical practice, without the need of general anaesthesia, craniotomy and interference with cerebral tissue. The reliability of the stereotactic apparatus was positively evaluated by three independent surgeons. The apparatus was registered for use in the health services.
