Abstract
Objective To observe whether neuronavigation combined with intraoperative ultrasound is superior to neuronavigation alone. Methods Two hundred and thirteen patients who underwent craniotomy in Department of Neurosurgery, Shenzhen People’s Hospital from January 2014 to January 2017 were selected and divided into neuronavigation group and neuronavigation combined with intraoperative ultrasound group according to the localization method used in the operation. The total resection rate of the two groups was compared by postoperative imaging data. Results Neuronavigation group: 53 cases were completely removed, accounting for 64.6%; 29 cases were not completely removed, accounting for 35.4%. Neuronavigation combined with intraoperative ultrasound: 103 cases were completely removed, accounting for 78.6%; 28 cases were not completely removed, accounting for 21.4%. The difference was statistically significant. Conclusion The application of neuronavigation combined with intraoperative ultrasound can improve the complete resection rate of surgery, which has certain advantages over the application of neuronavigation alone.
