Objective:
to assess the efficacy of developed laser technologies of basal meningioma resection.
Material And Methods:
Authors analyzed the results of surgical treatment of 83 people, who underwent basal meningioma surgery in 1995-2008, in remote postoperative period. Follow-up and analysis of the dynamics of patient's quality-of-life, neurological deficit, frequency of relapses and continued growth of tumors were studied in 51 patients operated using neodymium laser and 32 patients after standard surgery.
Results And Conclusion:
The use of the neodymium laser in basal meningioma resection significantly increased the efficacy of surgery, reduced the risk of recurrent tumors and improved quality-of-life of patients in remote postoperative period.
