ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a stereotactic device which is adapted for placement of a medical probe in the performance of percutaneous lumbar discectomy in a human body. The stereotactic device is utilized in conjunction with a fluoroscope for alignment and placement of a trocar type probe into a herniated disc. Bubble gauges are employed to level the x-axis and y-axis of a trocar support, which orients and slidably guides the medical probe into the targeted herniated disc nucleus.
