Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Diagnostic Ultrasound

Background:

  • Intraoperative sonography is underutilized in neurosurgical procedures.
  • Craniotomy requires precise localization of lesions for safe and effective excision.
  • Current localization methods may have limitations.

Observation:

  • This report details intraoperative sonography techniques applied during 15 craniotomies.
  • Three representative cases illustrate successful lesion localization.
  • The procedure was performed to assist in surgical planning and execution.

Findings:

  • Intraoperative sonography enabled easy and accurate localization of brain lesions in the described cases.
  • The technique proved effective in guiding surgical excision.
  • No major neurological deficits were reported post-procedure.

Implications:

  • Widespread adoption of intraoperative sonography during craniotomy could improve surgical precision.
  • This technique offers a safe method for lesion localization, potentially reducing operative time and complications.
  • Enhanced visualization during surgery can lead to better patient outcomes in neurosurgery.
