Advancing Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery Through Innovation and Collaboration
Welcome to the American Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (ASSFN). We are dedicated to advancing the field of neurosurgery through innovation and collaboration. Our mission is to promote excellence in stereotactic techniques and functional neurosurgery, fostering a community of neurosurgeons committed to improving patient outcomes and driving scientific discovery.
As the field of stereotactic surgery continues to grow, we recognize the importance of providing neurosurgeons with the resources and support they need to excel in this specialized area. From frame-based to frameless image guidance, our organization is at the forefront of training and education, ensuring that all neurosurgeons have access to the latest techniques and technologies.
Through our affiliation with the Joint Section for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, ASSFN members benefit from a global network of experts and researchers, sharing knowledge and best practices to advance the field. Our biennial meetings offer a unique opportunity for collaboration and learning, with reduced fees for active members.
At ASSFN, we believe that functional neurosurgery should be accessible to all patients in need. As nonablative surgery for movement disorders and other conditions becomes more commonplace, our organization plays a vital role in demystifying these procedures and expanding access to care.
