Computer-assisted neurosurgery by using a noninvasive vacuum-affixed dental cast that acts as a reference base: another step toward a unified approach in the treatment of brain tumors
Reto Bale,Johannes Burtscher,Wilhelm Eisner,Alois Obwegeser,Michael Rieger,Reinhart A. Sweeney,A. Dessl,S. M. Giacomuzzi,K. Twerdy,Werner Jaschke +9 more
TL;DR: Because of its noninvasive, rigid, reliable, and reproducible connection to the patient's head, the VBH vacuum-affixed mouthpiece grants the registration device an accuracy comparable to invasive fiducial markers.

Use of neuronavigation and electrophysiology in surgery of subcortically located lesions in the sensorimotor strip.
W. Eisner,Johannes Burtscher,Reto Bale,Reinhart A. Sweeney,F Koppelstätter,S Golaszewski,C Kolbitsch,K. Twerdy +7 more
TL;DR: Surgery of lesions in the subcortical sensorimotor region can be performed with greater confidence due to the implementation of two recent technologies.

Posterior-fossa haemorrhage after supratentorial surgery--report of three cases and review of the literature.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the loss of large amounts of CSF intra-operatively and postoperatively may lead to parenchymal shifts or a critical increase of transmural venous pressure with subsequent vascular disruption and haemorrhage.
