[Experience of application of ultrasound dissection-aspiration in surgical treatment of extracerebral intracranial tumors].

The results of surgical treatment of 33 patients, suffering intracranial extracerebral tumours, were analyzed. Magnet-resonance tomography of the brain, selective angiography with contrasting of external and internal carotid and vertebral arteries were used for neurovisualization, in several patients-bilaterally. In 19 (57.6%) patients ultrasound dissector Sonoca 300 was applied intraoperatively, permitting to remove the tumour totally in 16 (84.2%) of them. In 3 patients progression of neurological deficiency was noted postoperatively. Application of ultrasound dissection-aspiration in surgical treatment of extracerebral intracranial tumours have had permitted to enhance the surgical interventions radicality, to reduce the operative trauma, postoperative complications rate, cost-effectiveness of the patient management in the early postoperative period, and to raise trustworthy the operated patients quality of life.
