Abstract

Frameless stereotactic image-guided techniques may be used in spinal surgery to better define anatomical landmarks, to precisely localize pathological lesions and their borders, and to assist in the precise placement of instrumentation. This technology may be applied to surgery involving the entire spinal axis. Currently, it is best suited for dorsal approaches. However, modifications will soon be available that will vastly expand its application into the ventral region as well.
