    The document discusses various patient positioning approaches used for different types of neurosurgeries. It states that the supine position with three pin fixation is used for pterional, orbitozygomatic, subtemporal, anterior cervical, and transthoracic approaches. The sitting position with three-pin fixation is used for suboccipital, far-lateral, posterior, and posterolateral approaches. The prone position with three pin fixation is used for suboccipital and posterior and posterolateral cervical spine approaches.
