The Difference Between Ultrasound-Guided and Stereotactic-Guided Neurosurgical Procedures
We evaluate two different methods, Ultrasound (US) guidance and sterotactic guidance, routinely used in our Department for navigation in various neurosurgical procedures. These procedures were intracranial lesion biopsies, intracranial cysts and abscesses puncture and evacuations, vetricular punctures for hydrocephalus shunt operations sterotactic-guided microneurosurgical resections, and sterotactic guided endoscopic operations. Advantages of the US guided operations are the shortness of the procedure, simplicity (no need for moving patient for additional CT scanning), no irradiation and the possibility of real time imaging. The disadvantages of the US-guided procedures are worse resolution of the images in deep-seated and small lesions as well as the need for bigger trepanation because of the tranducers dimensions.Sterotactic procedures are time consuming but more precise and usually done in local anaeshesia because only a small trepanation is required.
