1283: Neuroendoscopy Guided by Sonography

Abstract

IntroductionThe transoperative use of equipment in the operating room for the location of brain damage is already known. The implementation of big and sophisticated equipment (CT, MR) in the operating room reported a questioned utility due to economic and ergonomic reasons. Neuronavegación systems have the problem of modification of the structures once opened intracranial dura due the cerebrospinal fluid drainage. The use of diagnostic sonography in the nervous system is well known but is little know the transoperatory utility.Material & Method-ResultsWe report our experience with the use of trans-operative sonography in endoscopic treatment of brain lesions, and the very well ergonomics and economics caracteristics.ConclusionsThe transoperativ sonography provides valuable support in the location of ventricular, paravenricular or deep brain lesions. Let you get real-time information during the surgical procedure as many times as necessary. Due to the characteristics of the sonography equipment (size, maneuverability, ergonomics, etc.) Offer greater benefits in comparison with the CT, RM or neuronavegación equipments. These obvious economic differences that make unfeasible the use of intraoperativ CT or RM equipment for the majority of Latin American neurosurgical centers. So the transoperativ sonography was established as a very good option for the neuroendoscopic procedure in any latinamerican hospital.
