Figure 2. — Example of draping for stereotactic navigation setup for cervical spine surgery. A Mayfield cranial stabilization system (Integra LifeSciences, Plainsboro, NJ) is used to hold the skull and cervical spine in place during the operation. The reference frame attachment for the stereotactic navigation setup is connected directly to the Mayfield (A). A sterile drape is then placed over the attachment and rubber banded in place (B). The patient is then draped in the usual sterile fashion, and a hole is cut in the drape to allow the attachment to come into the surgical field (C). The sterile reference frame is then placed on the attachment. This setup allows for sterility and excellent working space between the navigational tools and the reference frame.
