Objective: To compare robot-assisted and conventional frame-based deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery with regard to accuracy, precision, reliability, duration of surgery, intraoperative imaging quality, safety and maintenance using a standardized setup. Methods: Retrospective evaluation of 80[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 70.

Objective: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) delivered at 10 kHz (HF10) substantially impacts the management of chronic back and leg pain. To date HF10 cervical SCS was successfully performed in patients with migraine. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of HF10 cervical[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 70.

Objective: Over decades spinal cord stimulation (SCS) with conventional (tonic) waveforms is known as a treatment option for chronic leg pain with the aim to cover the painful area with comfortable paresthesia to reduce pain. During the last years a variety of innovative waveforms were evolved. High-frequency[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 70.

Objective: The subthalmic nucleus (STN) is the standard neuroanatomical target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Usually, resting tremor can be satisfactorily suppressed by STN-DBS. However, in some patients especially with severe tremor STN-DBS does not suppress tremor[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 65.

Objective: We present our long-term results of a consecutive series of patients with skull base meningiomas treated by LINAC-Radiosurgery. Methods: Between August 1991 and July 2011, 129 patients (m:f = 39:101; median age, 51.9 years; range, 9.7–80.2 years) with 134 skull base meningiomas[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 63.

Objective: The optimal management of glomus jugulare tumors (GJTs) remains controversial. Surgical resection and fractionated external beam irradiation have been the best options but with a high morbidity rate. We evaluate the long-term efficacy of single-fraction stereotactic LINAC-Radiosurgery (LINAC-RS)[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 62.

Objective: Meningiomas are benign, slowly progressive neoplasms that often present the opportunity for a permanent cure. Microsurgery is the treatment of choice in most cases. Radiosurgery is emerging as a different, non-invasive modality for the treatment of meningiomas. We present the clinical and[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 62.
