INTRODUCTION
• Positioning can be defined as the arrangement of bodily parts or to place into an advantageous location
• Neurosurgery procedures are usually lengthy
• First obligatory step in proper planning
• Depends on indication for surgery, approach, patients body habitus and surgeons preference

AIMS
• Prevent post operative complications due to positioning
• Best access to the pathological site
• Comfort to the surgeon
• Provision of space to other team members and efficient ergonomics
![Page 9: Positioning for supratentorial surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052218/55a04bc01a28ab230b8b477d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
PRINCIPLES OF NEUROSURGICAL POSITIONING
• Final choice of position should made known as early as possible to the operating team
• Position chosen should ensure patients safety, surgeons comfort, good airway access and adequate mobility
• It should be done typically after induction
• It is sometimes necessary to disconnect ventilator

contd
• Body positioned before head
• Positioning done to minimise brain retraction, highest point to pathology site shortest distance, craniotomy side parallel to ground
• Eye protection , lubrication and tapping.
• Adequate padding and relief of pressure points must be ensured
• Ultimately risk/benefit ratio should considered

ACCESSORIES FOR POSITIONING
• Mayfield head clamp

Principle of use
• Must be an indication
• Avoided in aneurysm and ICH procedures, air sinus, sutures, temporalis muscle
• Single pin usually in front while double pin opposite.
• Usually fixed in axial plane below the equator of the head.

Complications
• Heamorrhage: extracranial and intracranial
• Skin and eye avulsion
• Skull fracture
• Brain parenchymal injury
• Pin site infection

THREE QUARTER PRONE
![Page 27: Positioning for supratentorial surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052218/55a04bc01a28ab230b8b477d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Complications of positioning
• Pressure necrosis
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Venous air embolism
• Facial oedema
• Macroglossia
• Blindness

CONCLUSION
• Positioning in neurosurgery cannot be overemphasized
• Positioning is team work
• Ideal positioning gives good post operative outcome
• A well planned surgical procedure can be catastrophic if patient is not well positioned
