“…At the meeting of the World Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery in 1973, six papers described the use of computers in stereotactic surgery [15]. As early as 1969, Peluso and Gybels [16,17] used a computer to determine a stereotactic target [16] and to define two targets along a single trajectory [17], probably the first intraoperative use of a computer for surgical guidance. It was not long afterward that Birg and Mundinger [18] followed.…”

Although many advances in stereotactic surgery appear to be of recent origin, there are precedents in the literature documenting the planting of those seeds that eventually grew into common procedures. Pallidotomy was the first stereotactic procedure in humans that used the Spiegel-Wycis apparatus in 1947. Other targets for Parkinson’s disease have their roots in the decade following that. Using stereotactic techniques to target solid or cystic lesions was introduced in the 1950’s, when either calcification or pneumoencephalography were necessary to visualize the mass. One of the first uses of computers in surgery was in stereotaxis. Infusion of a neurotransmitter was first done over 30 years ago.

“…95 The introduction of graphics-based computer workstations has added new possibilities to stereotactic surgical planning. Complex trajectories and target points can be calculated 96 and asymmetrical application of the head ring can be corrected for rotation or tilt. 97,98 Additionally, microelectrode recording had been introduced in 1961.…”

There has been a quest for surgical treatments for movement disorders for over a century. At first the pyramidal system was interrupted to quiet involuntary motor behavior, but at the cost of paralysis. As knowledge of control of movement advanced during the first part of the last century, the extrapyramidal system became the target, with the goal of alleviating symptoms without weakness. When improved medical management for Parkinson's disease was introduced in the late 1960s, surgery for movement disorders became uncommon, but within the last decade it has rebounded significantly. It now appears that surgery will play an increas-ing role for treatment of motor disorders for the foreseeable future.

“…Complex trajectories and target points could be calculated and visualized [121,122], even with a side-protruding electrode [123]. Tumor boundaries could be localized to direct resection stereotactically [120,124].…”
