Prone Positioning in the Leksell G Frame for Posterior Fossa Stereotaxy in Young Children
Prone positioning in the Leksell G frame, with specific technical modifications, enables safe and accurate stereotactic posterior fossa procedures in pediatric patients. This approach eliminates the need for intraoperative repositioning and ensures seamless integration with widely available stereotactic planning software. By utilizing existing tools and refining workflow, this method provides a practical, cost-effective, and reproducible solution for extending stereotactic neurosurgery to the pediatric population.
