Abstract
Three-dimensional image reconstruction for preoperative surgical planning and intraoperative navigation for the resection of low-grade gliomas was performed in 20 patients. Thirteen of these surgeries were performed while the patient received a local anesthetic to allow for cortical mapping. Ninety percent of the patients were functionally intact postoperatively. The authors propose that the combination of the three-dimensional image reconstruction and surgical navigation, in conjunction with intraoperative cortical mapping, provides an additional means for surgeons to improve the safety and precision of the procedures.
