A neurosurgical navigation system incorporating a multiarticulated arm and an isocentric stereotaxic mechanism has been developed. The usefulness of the navigation system has been increased by using it in combination with Laitinen's noninvasive, accurately reproducible stereoadapter. Stereotaxic microsurgery and surgical navigation was performed successfully in 30 cases with these systems.
