Abstract
Stereotactic surgery is currently undergoing great changes with a large number of frameless methodologies being developed alongside traditional frame-based systems. As a result, there is considerable uncertainty over the future clinical roles of the numerous stereotactic options now offered. We have reviewed the current scientific issues regarding accuracy in both frame-based and frameless stereotaxy. Frame-based systems have the advantage of proven clinical utility and instrument carriage with a high degree of mechanical stability and accuracy. Frameless methods are more complex, but also more flexible, and may have wide applications in general neurosurgery if clinical efficacy is confirmed.
