Abstract

Background: Over the last decade, neurosurgery has become increasingly reliant on image-guided surgical systems to help in performing the surgery more safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. Examples of this system are intraoperative MRI, intraoperative CT, and intraoperative ultrasound each of which has its own pros and cons. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the role of intraoperative ultrasound during brain tumor surgeries regarding its capability in localizing the mass and determining the extent of its resection intraoperative. Patients and Methods: The study was conducted as a prospective cohort clinical study in the period from July 2019 to September 2020. All patients diagnosed with intracranial mass lesions and planned for surgical excision were included (n=31). Clinical and radiological data pre-, intra-, and post-operative were collected and analyzed. Results: Analysis of the data demonstrated that of 31 patients, the extent of the tumor resection was defined well by the intraoperative ultrasound in only 16% of the patients while regarding tumor localization, in 90% of the cases the tumors were localized well by the intraoperative ultrasound. Conclusion: The results indicate that intraoperative ultrasonography was helpful with brain tumor localization, especially the intra-axial ones. On this basis, neurosurgeons and radiologists should be aware of the technique and its valuable impact on the outcome and they are supposed to work together in order to generalize it and improve the learning curve shortly.
