Neurosurgical oncology: advances in operative technologies and adjuncts

摘要: Modern glioma surgery has evolved around the central tenet of safely maximizing resection. Recent surgical adjuncts have focused on increasing maximum extent resection while minimizing risk to functional brain. Technologies such as cortical and subcortical stimulation mapping, intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging, neuronavigation, navigable ultrasound, neuroendoscopy, fluorescence-guided been developed augment identification tumor preserving brain anatomy function. However, whether these technologies offer additional long-term benefits patients remains be determined. Here we review advances over past decade in operative that offered most promising for glioblastoma patients.
