ABSTRACT

La craneotomía con paciente despierto (CPD) demanda un manejo multidisciplinario particular debido al componente de conciencia transoperatoria que aporta beneficios en la resección tumoral y preservación neurológica, pero también implica el manejo de los riesgos asociados a la necesidad de cooperación del paciente durante el procedimiento. En este trabajo se describen los beneficios y las complicaciones en pacientes operados bajo la modalidad de CPD. Además, se abordan los retos documentados tanto para el equipo profesional a cargo, como para los pacientes, los cuales tienen un rol activo durante la cirugía. En ese sentido, se exponen los criterios para la selección, preparación psicológica y neuropsicológica tanto previo como durante la cirugía. A su vez, se proponen las consideraciones para lograr un procedimiento exitoso y evitar las posibles secuelas psicológicas a largo plazo, como insumos para la protocolización de este tipo de procedimientos con base en nuestra experiencia.


Awake craniotomy (AC) requires a multidisciplinary management due to trans operative awareness, which benefits the tumor resection and neurologic preservation, but it also implies risks for the patient cooperation during the procedure. This article describes the benefits and complications in patients operated under AC. Besides, it approaches the documented challenges for both the professional team and patients, who have an active role during surgery. In this regard, the criteria for selection and psychological and neuropsychological preparation before and during surgery are set out. It suggests considerations to achieve a successful procedure and to avoid possible long- term psychological sequelae, as a resource for the protocol of this type of procedures based on our experience.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: describir la seguridad y tolerabilidad de craneotomía vigíl en la resección de lesiones supratentoriales. Introducción: La craneotomía vigíl es útil para poder remover tumores cercanos, o en áreas elocuentes con seguridad; potencialmente reduce complicaciones, al igual que costos y estancia intrahospitalaria. Material y métodos: Se revisaron los registros desde enero del 2007 a julio del 2018. En el caso de los pacientes con gliomas o tumores intraaxiales se analizó déficit neurológico en base a áreas de elocuencia antes y después del procedimiento, y su recuperabilidad a los 30 días, al igual que volumen de resección. Resultados: Se intentaron 218 craneotomías vigiles, 213 (98.1%) se realizaron con éxito. La edad media fue de 64 años (8-92), 117 (54.9%) hombres, 96 (45%) mujeres. La cantidad de pacientes con lesiones tumorales fueron 171 (80%), las lesiones no tumorales fueron 42 (20%). El volumen de resección en área elocuente fue 73%, cercano a elocuencia 94% y no elocuente 100%. El empeoramiento neurológico ocurrió en el 30%, 16%, 2%, con recuperabilidad a los 30 días en comparación al déficit preoperatorio del 24%, 75% y 100% por área respectivamente. Las convulsiones se presentaron en 11 pacientes (5.1%). La mortalidad previa al alta fue de un paciente (0.5%), complicaciones cardiacas o pulmonares que requirieron intubación posterior a la cirugía fue cero. Conclusión: La técnica de craneotomía vigíl ha mostrado ser segura y tolerable en la mayoría de los pacientes, ha evitado las complicaciones pulmonares en el postoperatorio, posee una baja mortalidad y ha mostrado ser importante para la resección de tumores en áreas elocuentes.


Introduction: Awake craniotomy is a useful technique for removing tumors in or near eloquent cortex, potentially reducing systemic complications, monetary costs and hospital stays. Objective: To describe the security and tolerability profiles of awake craniotomies to resect supratentorial lesions. Methods: Registries from January 2007 to July 2018 were analyzed. In patients with intra-axial tumors, neurological deficits corresponding to areas of eloquent cortex were recorded before and after surgery, as were levels of improvement 30 days post-operatively, and the volume of resection. Results: Over that time period, 218 awake craniotomies were attempted, among which 213 (98.1%) were successfully completed. Mean age was 64 (8-92) years, and there were 117 (54.9%) males, 96 (45%) females. One hundred seventy-one patients had a tumor 171 (80%); 42 (20%) some other disease. The volume of resection based on eloquent cortex was 73%, near-eloquent 94% and non-eloquent 100%. Neurological worsening after surgery was 30%, 16%, 2%, with a resolution of preoperative deficits at 30 days in 24%, 75% and 100% of the patients, respectively, by anatomical area. During surgery, seizures occurred in 11 patients (5.1%). One patient (0.5%) died prior to discharge, but no systemic complications arose that required post-operative mechanical ventilation. Conclusions: Awake craniotomy appears to be a safe and well-tolerated procedure in the majority of patients. In our study, it completely avoided pulmonary complications, had a very low mortality rate, and proved to be useful for removing tumors in eloquent cortex.

ABSTRACT

World-renowned neurosurgeon, Professor Saleem Abdulrauf, has been featured in several medical journals for his successful “Awake Brain Aneurysm Surgery”. Regarded as a “world first”, this surgery, involves clipping un-ruptured brain aneurysms while patients are awake. Only one or two neurosurgery centres worldwide are capable of this. Performing the surgery while the patient is awake lowers risks of brain ischemia with neurological deficits and ventilator associated morbidities. The technique has been viewed as the start of a new era in brain surgery. Physicians from the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) School of Medical Sciences, at the Health Campus in Kelantan, headed by Professor Dr Zamzuri Idris (neurosurgeon) and Dr Wan Mohd Nazaruddin Wan Hassan (neuroanaesthetist), recently performed a similar procedure, the first such surgery in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. The USM team can therefore be considered to be among the first few to have done this brain surgery and achieved successful patient outcomes.
