Prevention of Intraoperative Cerebral Ischemia during Neurosurgical Operations - Abstract
Brain surgery carries the risk of intraoperative ischemic damage to the healthy tissues, which may result in significant neurological deficit in the postoperative period and worsen the clinical outcome. Recent advances in neuroimaging, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring and surgical technique help to reduce the risk of ischemia and allow for a more aggressive approach for pathologies considered inoperable in the past.
