Abstract
There is vast experience worldwide in functional neurosurgery and stereotaxy, a subspecialty that was developed in Uruguay only in one center until in 2004 the Stereotaxy and Functional Neurosurgery Team was formed, as a department of the Regional Center for Neurosurgery of Tacuarembó (CERENET ), in the Regional Hospital of Tacuarembó (Ministry of Public Health-Administration of Social Security for Disease), where patients from all over the country are assisted.
The objective of this report is to present the techniques that are being carried out at CERENET, in the subspecialty of functional neurosurgery and stereotaxy.
