Minimally invasive supratentorial neurosurgical approaches guided by Smartphone app and compass

Abstract The precise location in the scalp of specifically planned points can help to achieve less invasive approaches. This study aims to develop a smartphone app, evaluate the precision and accuracy of the developed tool, and describe a series of cases using the referred technique. The application...
