Abstract
Minimally invasive brain surgery refers to technological advances refining surgical access that have enabled neurosurgeons to reduce the morbidity and improve the accuracy and quality of neurosurgical procedures. These advances include computer-assisted stereotaxis, intraoperative ultrasound, brain mapping and neuroendoscopy. Computer-assisted stereotaxis includes not only smaller and accurate craniotomies but precision radiotherapy with radiosurgery and interstitial brachytherapy.
