Stereotactic technique is performed using a 3-dimensional guidance frame fixed to the head that is capable of directing a probe to an unseen target. The first human stereotactic operation was performed by Spiegel and Wycis in 1948, using a frame they designed.

Stereotactic surgery and the target localization techniques have developed a great deal in the last forty years. In this manuscript, the history of stereotactic surgery in Türkiye is reviewed. Anahtar Kelimeler : Stereotactic, History
