Intraoperative real-time ultrasound in glioma microsurgical operation

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of intraoperative real-time ultrasound in glioma microsurgical operation. Methods Sixty-six patients with glioma were randomly divided into the observation group(35 cases) and the control group(31 cases). All the patients received the treatment of microneurosurgical operation. But intraoperative real-time ultrasound technology was applied in the observation group to guide tumor resection. The total resection rate of tumor, amount of bleeding, operative time and the incidence of complication were compared between the two groups. Results The total resection rate of tumor in the observation group was 85.71% and it was 61.29% in the control group, there was significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05). The operative time of the observation group was (230.11±66.57) min and (293.16±98.12) min in the control group, there was significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05). The incidence rate of complication in the observation group was 34.29%, and it was 61.29% in the control group, there was significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05). Conclusions Intraoperative real-time ultrasound in glioma microsurgical operation can improve the total resection rate of tumor, shorten the operation time, reduce the loss of blood during operation and the incidence of complication.
