Surgery for Parkinson’s disease is an example of stereotactic surgery. The word “stereotactic” means to touch in three dimensional space. When applied to surgery it refers to operations performed with the help of guided probes passed through “silent” areas of the brain.It is opposed to procedures where the skull is opened and the areas of interest are directly manipulated by the surgeon.
