Zusammenfassung:Surgical catheters with sufficient flexibility to deflect in response to brain shift in vivo while remaining in a target trajectory to a target in the brain have an elongate body and an exposed internal distal tip. The elongate bodies can be 0.5-10 feet long and the exposed distal tip can be provided as a tip end of a fused silica transfer tube that extends through the elongate body. The surgical catheters can be affixed to a skull using a bolt with a through channel and a bolt nut with a through channel. A distal end of the surgical catheters can extend through a guide sheath coupled to the bolt to reach the target.
