Radioguided surgery using gamma detection probe technology for resection of cerebral glioma.
CONCLUSIONS: Neuronavigation system increases the percentage of gross total resection, but it is expensive, increases duration of surgery is not considered a real-time assessment, and is not accurate in determining the borders of glioma due to brain shift. In contrast, radio-guided surgery is easy to use, real time, not expensive, and increases the extent of tumor resection.
