Abstract

BACKGROUND: Frameless stereotactic biopsies, particularly robot-assisted procedures are increasing in neurosurgery centers. Results of these procedures should be at least equal to or greater than frame-based reference procedure. Evaluate robot-assisted technology is necessary in particular, when a team has chosen to switch from one to another method.
