WSSFN – World Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery

Despite the dominance of neurostimulation technology, stereotactic lesioning operations continue to play a significant role in the treatment of movement disorders, pain, and certain psychiatric disorders. In recent years, renewed interest in lesioning interventions can be attributed to significant achievements in neuroradiological, neurophysiological, and stereotactic software technologies.

The webinar addresses the general issues of using stereotactic RF lesioning for treating movement disorders, epilepsy, and psychiatric disorders.
