The term "neuro-navigation systems," commonly referred to as "frameless stereotactic surgery," describes a procedure that uses real-time intraoperative guiding for spinal or brain damage. Using neuro-navigation during neurosurgery improves precision and safety. Without the use of external frames, neuro-navigation devices assist in guiding the surgeon to the surgical goals.
These devices are mostly utilised during brain operations to help reduce the size of the craniotomy or skull opening and remove brain lesions like tumours or other tissue masses. In frameless stereotactic procedures that rely on fiducial markers on the brain that are taped to the scalp before imaging, neuro-navigation devices are generally employed for tumour removal.
