Extent of Resection for Supratentorial Gliomas Using the B-mode Ultrasound as an Intraoperative Aid
A total of 44 patients were included in the analysis. Thirty-six patients (81.8%) had a high-grade glioma as the final diagnosis. The extent of resection achieved was over 90% in 70.5% of the cases. Conclusion: iUS by itself has been proven to be a valuable tool to improve the localization and resection of supratentorial gliomas.
