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.
微创脑手术是指在手术入路方面取得的技术进步，这些进步使神经外科医生能够降低发病率，并提高神经外科手术的准确性和质量。这些进步包括计算机辅助立体定向、术中超声、脑图谱绘制和神经内镜检查。计算机辅助立体定向不仅包括更小且精确的开颅手术，还包括放射外科和组织间近距离放疗的精确放射治疗。
