Abstract
A device and a method are provided for holding a stereotactic probe in position after the probe has been precisely positioned by stereotactic procedures, such as brain surgery. The device, a stereotactic probe holder, is adjustable, as it is capable of being positioned to contact and grip a probe at a position between a stereotactic frame and a patient's head, and is suitable for holding the probe in a desired location. Methods of using the stereotactic probe holder are also provided. The invention is useful in maintaining the proper positioning of probes, such as deep brain stimulators, electrodes, cryoprobes, cannulae, and the like, after the initial placement of the probes during stereotactic surgery.
