Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of the neuronavigation system in operation of gliomas near eloquent regions. METHOD: The brain LAB VV2 navigation system was used in 11 patients with gliomas near eloquent regions. The value of this system for glioma resection was assessed, and the accuracy and notice for application were discussed. RESULTS: The mean registration error was (1.5 +/- 0.7) mm in the patients. Total lesion removal was achieved in 9 patients (81.8%). The clinical status of all patients improved, and their functions of motor were not significantly affected. No complications were attributed to the use of this system. CONCLUSION: The neuronavigation system is reliable and accurate in surgical treatment of gliomas near eloquent regions. It increases the fraction of radical in glioma resection without injury to the critical functions.
