Value of neuronavigation-assisted microsurgery for volumetric resection of gliomas near the central sulcus of the brain / 临床神经病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the value of neuronavigation-assisted microsurgery for volumetric resection of gliomas near the central sulcus of the brain.Methods The neuronavigation system was used to demarcate the boundary of the gliomas before the resection and guide the resection at the real time of the surgery.16 cases of gliomas near the central sulcus were removed by volumetric microsurgery resection.Results Volumetric resection was achieved in 14 cases,and subtotal resection was in 2 cases.Nerve disfunction of 13 patients were improved or no changed after the operation,but nerve disorders of 3 cases became more serious after the operation,and got better than that of the level before the operation after 3 months.Conclusions It is very helpful of neuronavigation systerm to elevate the rate of total resection of gliomas near the central sulcus and reduce the injury of the brain and nerve disfunction.
