Neurosurgical tools and techniques--modern image-guided surgery.
Cushing and other great neurosurgeons made their mental preparations for surgical procedures through extensive, beautiful drawings. Three-dimensional visualization was in those days supported through interpretation of pneumoencephalograms with displacements of structures indicating where a space-occupying process might be located. Today this visualization necessary for each neurosurgeon is part...
متن کاملBrain mapping in Neurosurgical oncology
After the introduction of MRI, new modalities facilitated the procedure of surgical planning to achieve the microsurgical goal and improve prognosis and quality of life in patients. Despite the variable applications of preoperative and intraoperative mapping and monitoring systems, several limitations and concerns are reported for every modality as well. In this issue of the IrJNS, we are delig...
متن کاملThe impact of modern neurosurgical approaches and extent of resection on patient outcome
Despite advances in preoperative imaging, intraoperative techniques, and postoperative care, it remains unclear whether greater glioma resection affects patient survival. Although the available evidence supports the utility of surgery for diagnosis and decompression, there is controversy as to whether a greater extent of resection can influence outcome. We have reviewed every major clinical pub...
متن کاملThe Value of Glioma Extent of Resection in the Modern Neurosurgical Era
OBJECTIVE There remains no general consensus in the neurosurgical oncology literature regarding the role of extent of glioma resection in improving patient outcome. Although the value of resection in establishing a diagnosis and alleviating mass effect is clear, there is less certainty in ascertaining the influence of extent of resection (EOR). Here, we review the recent literature to synthesiz...
متن کاملNeurosurgical infections
The central nervous system is a very delicate and vulnerable organ which enjoys protection by layers of coverings. It is described as an immunological vacuum, and when afflicted by infections the outcome is most often devastating. Factors leading to compromise of the host defense play a major role in establishing neurosurgical infections. A number of such factors can either be avoided or minimi...
