Neuronavigator-assisted microsurgical resection of glioma located in cerebral functional areas / 中南大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate value of neuronavigator-assisted microsurgery of glioma located in cerebral functional areas.Methods:Patients with glioma located in cerebral functional areas were underwent operation in Xiangya Hospital.Of 64 patients,34 patients were performed neuronavigator-assisted microsurgery,and 30 were underwent routine surgical operation.Results:The neuronavigator-assisted microsurgery group showed high complete resection rate with low neurological deficit and cerebral edema compared with the routine surgical group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Neuronavigator-assisted microsurgery is effective and characterized by accurate location,personalized operative incision design,and higher rate of tumor resection.
