Abstract
Background: Intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) imaging has emerged as a promising adjunct in glioma surgery with both, 2-dimensional (2D) as well as navigated 3-dimensional (n3D), modes increasingly being used.
Methods: We analyzed our decade-long experience of 1075 brain tumor (807, 75% gliomas) cases operated using iUS. A retrospective chart and electronic records review was performed. The primary aim was to understand the patterns of use of iUS mode and its purpose of application (as a localizing tool or as a resection control modality) as well as to evaluate its impact on the extent of resection.
Results: The use of iUS increased over time, especially with the introduction of n3DUS though 2DUS remained the more commonly used mode (63%) overall during this period. For biopsies (156 cases), both 2D, as well as n3D iUS, were used as a localizing tool only. Lesion localization was the major purpose for use of iUS even for tumor resections (61%). Resection control was performed more often for gliomas (46.5% compared to 16.5% in non-glial tumors). n3DUS was the preferred modality as a resection control tool irrespective of histological class. GTR (gross total resection) was achieved in 53.1% cases overall, while in glial and non-glial tumors it was 44.7% and 80.7%, respectively. GTR was higher when iUS was used as a resection control modality. The US and MR defined EOR (extent of resection) showed substantial agreement (κ = 0.678) with high diagnostic accuracy of 84% for glial tumors. In glial tumors, iUS was used more often in eloquent tumors and GTR rates were slightly higher than when iUS was not used.
Conclusion: iUS is a versatile tool and is a useful surgical adjunct for glioma surgeons. Besides its proven benefit as a localizing tool, when used as a tool for resection control it improves the resection rates. n3DUS may offer benefits over 2DUS as a resection control modality, though the evidence is still evolving.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
