Volumetric reconstruction and stereotactic computer assisted resection in intracerebral lesions
Copyright policy )Volumetric reconstruction and stereotactic computer assisted resection in intracerebral lesions
Since 1990 112 patients have undergone stereotactic resection of intra-axial tumoural lesions with volumetric reconstruction, using the Kelly-Goerss system. Stereotactic integration of CT, angiographic and particularly MRI information, together with three-dimensional information of the lesion, provide an innovative evaluation of the most appropriate surgical approach, even for each single patient. The main limitation of this surgical method is in cases where the infiltrating part of the tumour is pre-eminent, while it can allow "macroscopically complete resection" of well circumscribed lesions, almost independently of their location and volume. Some technical aspects of stereotactic resection of brain tumours are discussed in the light of our experience.
