Introduction.
As minimally invasive surgery becomes the standard of care in neurosurgery, it is imperative that surgeons become skilled in the use of image-guided techniques.
The development of image-guided neurosurgery represents a substantial improvement in the microsurgical treatment of tumors, vascular malformations, and other intracranial lesions.
Objective.
There have been numerous advances in neurosurgery which have aided the neurosurgeon to achieve accurate removal of pathological tissue with minimal disruption of surrounding healthy neuronal matter including the development of microsurgical, endoscopic, and endovascular techniques.
Neuronavigation systems and intraoperative imaging should improve success in cranial neurosurgery.
Additional functional imaging modalities such as PET, SPECT, DTI (for fiber tracking), and fMRI can now be used in order to reduce neurological deficits resulting from surgery; however the positive long-term effect remains questionable for many indications.
Method.
PubMed database search using the search term “image guided neurosurgery.” More than 1400 articles were published during the last 25 years.
The abstracts were scanned for prospective comparative trials.
Results and Conclusion.
14 comparative trials are published.
To date significant data amount show advantages in intraoperative accuracy influencing the perioperative morbidity and long-term outcome only for cerebral glioma surgery.
