Abstract:
Objective
To explore the application value of neuronavigation combined with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) in the surgical resection of brainstem glioma.
Methods
The case data of 107 patients with brainstem glioma treated in Neurosurgery Department of the 910th Hospital of Quanzhou Joint Logistics Support Force from August 2018 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into observation group (neuronavigation combined with IONM for tumor resection, n=55) and control group (traditional craniocerebral microsurgery-assisted tumor resection, n=52) according to different surgical methods. The clinical efficacy, perioperative indicators, neurological function, activity of daily living, survival quality and surgical complications were compared between two groups.
Results
The tumor resection degree and surgical treatment effect of the observation group were better than those of the control group, and the surgical duration and postoperative hospital stay were shorter than those of the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).The scores of Karnofsky functional status and functional independence measure of the observation group at 6 months after surgery were higher than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After a 2-year follow-up, the average survival period of the observation group was (26.77±7.69)months, and the progression free survival period was (23.21±6.45) months. The average survival period of the control group was (21.00±7.15) months, and the progression free survival period was (18.75±5.58)months.The survival of the observation group was better than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The total incidence of surgical complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion
The application of neuronavigation combined with IONM can enhance the degree of tumor resection, increase the surgical efficacy and postoperative survival quality, significantly improve the neurological function and activity of daily living, and reduce the incidence rates of surgical complications in the surgical resection of brainstem glioma.
