Intraoperative 3D ultrasound-guided resection of diffuse low-grade gliomas: radiological and clinical results.

CONCLUSIONSThree-dimensional US-guided LGG resections under general anesthesia are safe and HRQoL is preserved in most patients. Effectiveness in terms of EOR appears to be consistent with published studies using other advanced neurosurgical tools. Avoiding intraoperative vascular injury is a key factor for achieving good functional outcome.
