摘要
The principle of navigation surgery was first adopted in neurosurgery where a mechanical rigid frame was used in the stereotactic surgery to locate a deep ganglia and tract in the brain by Clark and Horsley in 1906. The planning was based on anatomical atlas of the brain and was not patient specific. The navigation procedure was possible with a rigid mechanical frame to define the trajectory with a rigid instrument holder on a rigid fixation of the operating structure, i.e. the skull. With the advancements in 3-D medical imaging,
