Abstract

We report the experience at the Neurosurgery Service, Saint Vincent's University Hospital (Medellín, Colombia) with a hand free procedure for performing brain biopsies, without stereotactical frames. It is considered useful in supratentorial lesions larger than 3 cm, in places lacking stereotactical technology.
