“…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.

“…In our previous papers [1][2][3][4] we have developed the general principles and calculations of three coordinates of the electrode point during penetra tion for each penetration depth with respect to a chosen reference system. An example of such calculations is shown in figure IB.…”

“…At that occasion we gave a review of the work of our group, most of which has been published in previous years [1][2][3][4]. In this paper we will only be concerned with the graphic representation of the electrode point during penetration of the brain, and with calculations for two-stage stereotaxic surgery, procedures which we have not published previously.…”

“…The reason is even stronger considering that as a consequence of the small structures of the hypothalamus, midbrain and upper brain stem, the tolerances must not be more than a few tenths of a millimeter in order to avoid great risks [4,5,7,9,11,25,26].…”

With a computerized program system for stereotactic brain operations it becomes possible for the first time to react even before running a possible risk, e.g., in case of punctures in the midbrain, the brain stem, or in the hypothalamus, by simulating the operative procedure even before starting the operation itself. This is effected by the ability to change the penetration angle of the electrode or by choosing a different point of trepanation. The inclusion of computerized axial tomography, especially through the presentation of the CT scan, made to measure with the help of the linear transformation, and of the input of the cranial and ventricular coordinates through a digitizer, together with the coordinates resulting from the X-ray picture, brings the definition of the target point to a still greater optimum. Thus the safety and the precision of the stereotactic operation have been improved even further.
