Application of flurescence-guided resection in intracranial malignant gliomas surgery / 临床神经病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the application of the flurescence-guided resection in gliomas surgery. The value and the advantages of this system for glioma resection was assessed, points for attention of application were discussed. Method 14 patients with gliomas in different region of the brain were performed flurescence-guided resection by using high-dose fluorescein sodium . Results Of our cases, according to the imaging data, total lesion removals were achieved in 11 patients (78.6%). The clinical status of all patients showed improvement without complication after surgery, the time of surgery and the days in hospital were both shortened than those of routine method of surgery. Conclusion The flurescence- guided resection is reliable and does accurate location in surgical treatment for gliomas. It increases rate of total lesion removal of glioma without injuring the adjacent functions.
