AI Article Synopsis
- Glioma resection prioritizes removing tumors while maintaining neurological function, with neuronavigation systems enhancing precision in this surgery through advanced imaging techniques.
- This systematic review of studies from 2012 to 2023 highlights that combining neuronavigation with intraoperative imaging significantly boosts tumor resection success rates but does not always shorten surgery time or guarantee long-term survival benefits.
- Conclusions emphasize the importance of ongoing research to improve these technologies, making them more cost-effective and effective for enhancing surgical outcomes and training for medical professionals.
Article Abstract
Background: Glioma resection aims for maximal tumor removal while preserving neurological function. Neuronavigation systems (NS), with intraoperative imaging, have revolutionized this process through precise tumor localization and detailed anatomical navigation.
Objective: To assess the efficacy and breadth of neuronavigation and intraoperative imaging in glioma resections, identify operational challenges, and provide educational insights to medical students and non-neurosurgeons regarding their practical applications.
Methods: This systematic review analyzed studies from 2012 to 2023 on glioma patients undergoing surgical resection with neuronavigation, sourced from MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, and Web of Science. A database-specific search strategy was employed, with independent reviewers screening for eligibility using Rayyan and extracting data using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool.
Results: The integration of neuronavigation systems with intraoperative imaging modalities such as iMRI, iUS, and 5-ALA significantly enhances gross total resection (GTR) rates and extent of resection (EOR). While advanced technology improves surgical outcomes, it does not universally reduce operative times, and its impact on long-term survival varies. Combinations like NS + iMRI and NS + 5-ALA + iMRI achieve higher GTR rates compared to NS alone, indicating that advanced imaging adjuncts enhance tumor resection accuracy and success. The results underscore the multifaceted nature of successful surgical outcomes.
Conclusions: Integrating intraoperative imaging with neuronavigation improves glioma resection. Ongoing research is vital to refine technology, enhance accuracy, reduce costs, and improve training, considering various factors impacting patient survival.

Objective: Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare neoplasms of the paraganglia at the carotid bifurcation. While typically benign, CBTs occasionally exhibit malignancy, metastasizing to nearby lymph nodes. Histopathologic analysis alone is insufficient to confirm malignancy, requiring metastases to non-neuroendocrine tissue for a definitive diagnosis.

Lumbar spinal surgery relies on palpation of anatomical landmarks and X-ray imaging confirmation to identify the correct spinal level, therefore exposing patients and staff to radiation, and increasing intraoperative time and cost. Ultrasound (US) assistance is being used to visualise spinal anatomy by many specialities, such as neurology and anaesthetics, and can be used intraoperatively in selected spinal surgery cases. However, its potential use to check spinal levels prior to surgery remains understudied.

Atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (AARS) in the adult population is primarily trauma-induced. Conservative and surgical treatments have both been used successfully in treating AARS. In cases where AARS cannot be reduced by conservative measures, open reduction and fusion is the conventional treatment approach.

Background: Electromagnetic navigation (EMN) is an advanced technology increasingly utilized in orthopedic surgery for its ability to provide real-time intraoperative guidance. Its application in spinal surgery is evolving rapidly, particularly for complex cases like tumor lesions. Spinal osteoblastomas, characterized by their benign nature, primarily affect the posterior elements of the spine.

Anyway, the final result depends also on factors that cannot be totally predicted regarding the settlement of soft tissues on the rigid structures, and a final objective check would be useful to eventually perform some adjustments before to conclude the intervention.
