Stereotactic procedures using Leksell frame have been performed in that Department since 1995, and as jet 199 such operations were carried out. The most frequent complication after stereotaxic biopsies was intracerebral haemorrhage occurring in 0.6 to 7.2% of cases, according to various authors. In the presented material it occurred in 1.3% of biopsies. Besides biopsy, the stereotactic procedures (105 cases) were applied for reducing the size or removal of tumours, including multiple tumours in one or both hemispheres, in one-step operations. The histological diagnoses were based on the examination of HE-stained smears, immunocytochemical reactions and electron microscopic studies. The effectiveness of the operations was assessed in control examinations (CT). The greatest group of cases undergoing stereotaxic surgery were metastatic tumours (47 cases, 61.3%), primary brain tumours were treated in 22 cases (28.57%), meningiomas in 4 (5.19%), abscesses in 3 cases (3.89%). In patients with metastatic tumours improvement was obtained in 97% of cases. One patient died from disseminated malignancies with cardiorespiratory failure. In the remaining patients no worsening of the objective status was noted after stereotaxic surgery.
