Microsurgical resection of multiple BMs leads to clinical stabilization or functional improvement in most patients. Although transient complications do not affect overall survival, the presence of persistent neurological deficits (> 3 months post-surgery) and progressive extracranial disease negatively impact overall survival. This highlights the importance of careful patient selection for resection of multiple BMs.
