Awake Mapping With Transopercular Approach in Right Insular-Centered Low-Grade Gliomas Improves Neurological Outcomes and Return to Work.
Hugues DuffauPublished in: Neurosurgery (2022)
This is the first study comparing asleep vs awake surgery for right insula-centered LGG. Despite similar extent of resection, functional outcomes were significantly better in awake patients by avoiding permanent neurological impairment and by increasing RTW. These results support the mapping of higher-order functions during awake procedure.
