Abstract
OBJECTIVE Visual, tactile, and auditory cues are used during surgery to differentiate tissue type. Auditory cues in glioma surgery have not been studied previously. The objectives of this study were 1) to evaluate the feasibility of recording sound generated by the suction device during glioma surgery in matched tissue samples, and 2) to characterize the acoustic variation that occurs in different tissue samples. METHODS This was a prospective observational proof-of-concept study. Recordings were attempted in 20 patients in order meet the accrual target of 10 patients with matched sound and tissue data. For each patient, three 30- to 60-second recordings were made at these sites: normal white matter, infiltrative margin, and tumor. Tissue samples at each site were then reviewed by experienced neuropathologists, and agreement with surgical identification was estimated with the kappa statistic. Acoustic parameters were characterized for each sample. RESULTS Data from 20 patients were analyzed. Patient-related or technical issues resulted in missing data for 10 patients, but the final 10 patients had both audio and tissue data for analysis. Among all tissue samples, fair agreement was observed between surgeon identification and actual pathology (κ = 0.24, standard error 0.096, p = 0.006). Acoustic data suggested that 1) the acoustic stimulus is broadband, 2) acoustic features are somewhat consistent within cases, 3) high-entropy values indicate irregularity of sound over time, and 4) bimodal pitch distributions could differentially reflect cues of interest. CONCLUSIONS This study supports the feasibility of collecting intraoperative data on acoustic features during glioma surgery, and it provides an example of how an analysis could be performed to compare different types of tissues.

Exoscopic Microsurgery: A Change of Paradigm in Brain Tumor Surgery? Comparison with Standard Operative Microscope. Brain Sci 2023; 13:1035. [PMID: 37508967 PMCID: PMC10377370 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci13071035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The exoscope is a high-definition telescope recently introduced in neurosurgery. In the past few years, several reports have described the advantages and disadvantages of such technology. No studies have compared results of surgery with standard microscope and exoscope in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). METHODS Our retrospective study encompassed 177 patients operated on for GBM (WHO 2021) between February 2017 and August 2022. A total of 144 patients were operated on with a microscope only and the others with a 3D4K exoscope only. All clinical and radiological data were collected. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) have been estimated in the two groups and compared by the Cox model adjusting for potential confounders (e.g., sex, age, Karnofsky performance status, gross total resection, MGMT methylated promoter, and operator's experience). RESULTS IDH was mutated in 9 (5.2%) patients and MGMT was methylated in 76 (44.4%). Overall, 122 patients received a gross total resection, 14 patients received a subtotal resection, and 41 patients received a partial resection. During follow-up, 139 (73.5%) patients experienced tumor recurrence and 18.7% of them received a second surgery. After truncation to 12 months, the median PFS for patients operated on with the microscope was 8.82 months, while for patients operated on with the exoscope it was >12 months. Instead, the OS was comparable in the two groups. The multivariable Cox model showed that the use of microscope compared to the exoscope was associated with lower progression-free survival (hazard ratio = 3.55, 95%CI = 1.66-7.56, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The exoscope has proven efficacy in terms of surgical resection, which was not different to that of the microscope. Furthermore, patients operated on with the exoscope had a longer PFS. A comparable OS was observed between microscope and exoscope, but further prospective studies with longer follow-up are needed.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15030882. [PMID: 36765841 PMCID: PMC9913632 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15030882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Introduction and objective: Surgical resection plays an important role in the multidisciplinary treatment of lung cancer patients with brain metastases (BMs). Precisely distinguishing the tumor border intraoperatively to improve and maximize the extent of resection (EOR) without causing permanent neurological defects is crucial but still challenging. Therefore, we introduced our experience of utilizing sodium fluorescein (SF) in microneurosurgery of BMs from lung cancer. This study aims to evaluate whether the use of SF-guided surgery has a positive impact on postoperative outcomes. (2) Materials and methods: A retrospective study was performed to collect data on a consecutive case series of patients with BMs from lung cancer who underwent surgical resection from January 2020 to December 2021 at the Department of Neuro-Oncology, Chongqing University Cancer Hospital. A total of 52 patients were enrolled, of which 23 received SF-guided surgery and 29 did not. EOR was assessed pre- and postoperatively on T1 contrast-enhanced MRI. Clinical and epidemiological data as well as follow-up were gathered and analyzed. (3) Results: Compared with the non-SF-guided group, the SF-guided group revealed a significantly better EOR (87.0% vs. 62.1%) and a lower incidence of local recurrence (8.7% vs. 34.5%). Survival benefits were seen in patients with NSCLC, patients who were undergoing SF-guided surgery, and patients receiving postoperative systemic therapy. (4) Conclusions: SF-guiding under the YELLOW 560 nm filter is a safe and feasible tool for improving the EOR in patients with BMs from lung cancer, leading to better local recurrence control and prolonged survival.

Sodium fluorescein in pediatric neurosurgery: a systematic review with technical considerations and future perspectives. Childs Nerv Syst 2022; 39:1451-1462. [PMID: 36459209 DOI: 10.1007/s00381-022-05772-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium fluorescein (SF) is routinely used in several centers as a valid intraoperative adjunct in adult oncological neurosurgery. Its use in pediatric neurosurgery is increasing, although its role is not yet well-defined in children. We reviewed the current literature in order to evaluate the use of SF in children with CNS and PNS lesions. METHODS For this systematic review, we searched PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases, and forward and backward citations for studies published between database inception and July 31st, 2022. We included any article type or congress abstract adding at least a new case, without restrictions of language or publication status, concerning the use of SF in neurosurgical procedures in patients under 18 years of age. We excluded studies concerning purely vascular cases and cerebrospinal fluid leaks. RESULTS Of 4094 records identified, 19 articles were eligible and included for further analysis. As per July 31st, 2022, at least 119 patients aged from 11 months to 17.9 years underwent surgery with SF. No serious adverse events were reported. A large variety of tumor types was operated, in most cases resected under the specific YELLOW 560 nm filter after a low-dose SF injection (2-5 mg/kg) at the end of anesthesia induction. SF was reported particularly useful in gangliogliomas and pilocytic astrocytomas. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Given its easy-to-use profile, low cost, and safety, SF seems to be a feasible and valid adjunct in the pediatric population when aiming at individuating a biopsy target or maximizing extent of resection, particularly in some tumor types. Further studies are required to strengthen the evidence on its impact on outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with brain tumors may experience preoperative fear due to various reasons such as obscurity, pain, and loss of function. This study was carried out to reveal the pre-operative fear levels of patients undergoing brain tumor surgery. DESIGN This descriptive and cross-sectional study was completed with 144 patients. METHODS Data were obtained using patient identification forms and the Surgical Fear Questionnaire (SFQ). Descriptive statistics, independent t test, one-way Anova, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used. FINDINGS The results revealed that the duration of preoperative hospital stay was 3.05 ± 2.26 days, the mean age of the patients was 51.44 ± 13.76 years, and more than half (54.1%) were male. The SFQ total and subscale mean scores of patients who are not working were higher (P < .05). The mean SFQ total and subscale mean scores of those aged 53 and over were lower. (P < .05). Duration of preoperative hospital stay, age, and female gender were statistically significant predictors of SFQ. Duration of preoperative hospital stay was responsible for 62.3% of the change in the SFQ, female gender was responsible for 17.6%, and age was responsible for 20.4%. CONCLUSION Understanding the risk factors for preoperative fear can help identify patients at risk. Factors that cause fear should be investigated and information deficiencies that increase the level of fear should be eliminated. It is recommended to use pharmacological and nonpharmacological methods in managing the fear of risk groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Intraoperative MRI (ioMRI) consists of performing a MRI during brain or spinal surgery. Although it is a safe and useful technique, it is available in a few hospitals. This means some aspects are not perfectly defined or standardized, forcing each center to develop its own solutions. Our goal is to describe the technique, evaluate the changes made to optimize its use and thus be able to facilitate the intraoperative resonance implementation in other neurosurgery departments. METHODS A prospective analysis of patients consecutively operated using high-field ioMRI guidance was carried out, describing the type of tumor, clinical data, time and sequences of ioMR, use of intraoperative neurophysiology, preoperative tumor volume, after ioMR, and postoperative, as well as complications. RESULTS ioMR was performed in 38 patients selected from among 425 brain tumors (9%) operated on in this interval. The tumor types were: 11 glioblastomas, 8 anaplastic astrocytomas, 5 diffuse astrocytomas, 4 meningiomas, 3 oligodendrogliomas, 2 metastases, 2 epidermoid cysts, 1 astroblastoma, 1 arachnoid cyst and 1 pituitary adenoma. The mean age was 45 years. The mean preoperative tumor volume was 45.22cc, after the ioMR 5.08cc and postoperative 1.28cc. Resection was extended after ioMR in 76%. Gross total resection was achieved in 15 patients and residual tumor of less than 1cc was observed in 8. An intentional tumor tissue was left in an eloquent brain region (mean volume 7cc) in 13 patients. Bleeding and ischemia complications were detected early on ioMR in 5%. MRI length was 47 min on average. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative MRI was a useful and safe technique, and no associated complications were registered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Five-year relative survival for adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with cancer diagnosed at the ages of 15 to 39 years is 85%. Survival rates vary considerably according to the cancer type. The purpose of this study was to analyze long-term survival trends for cancer types with the highest mortality among AYAs to determine where the greatest burden is and to identify areas for future research. METHODS Using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registry and the National Center for Health Statistics, the authors examined the incidence, mortality, and survival for the 9 cancer types with the highest mortality rates in this age group from 1975 to 2016. JPSurv, new survival trend software, was used in the analysis. RESULTS Results suggested significant improvements in 5-year relative survival for brain and other nervous system tumors, colon and rectum cancer, lung and bronchus cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (all P values < .05). Limited or no improvement in survival was found for female breast cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, and bone and joint sarcomas. CONCLUSIONS Five-year relative survival for multiple cancer types in AYAs has improved, but some common cancer types in this group still show limited survival improvements (eg, ovarian cancer). Survival improvements in colorectal cancer have been overshadowed by its rising incidence, which suggests a substantial disease burden. Future research should focus on female breast, bone, ovarian, and cervical cancers, which have seen minimal or no improvements in survival. LAY SUMMARY Survival trends for adolescents and young adults with cancer are presented from a 40-year period. Although survival progress is noted for brain cancer, lung cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, and colon and rectum cancer, the incidence of colon and rectum cancer remains high. Minimal progress is evident for female breast, bone, ovarian, and cervical cancers, which are in need of renewed focus.

Abstract
Observations using invasive neural recordings from patient populations undergoing neurosurgical interventions have led to critical breakthroughs in our understanding of human neural circuit function and malfunction. The opportunity to interact with patients during neurophysiological mapping allowed for early insights in functional localization to improve surgical outcomes, but has since expanded into exploring fundamental aspects of human cognition including reward processing, language, the storage and retrieval of memory, decision-making, as well as sensory and motor processing. The increasing use of chronic neuromodulation, via deep brain stimulation, for a spectrum of neurological and psychiatric conditions has in tandem led to increased opportunity for linking theories of cognitive processing and neural circuit function. Our purpose here is to motivate the neuroscience and neurosurgical community to capitalize on the opportunities that this next decade will bring. To this end, we will highlight recent studies that have successfully leveraged invasive recordings during deep brain stimulation surgery to advance our understanding of human cognition with an emphasis on reward processing, improving clinical outcomes, and informing advances in neuromodulatory interventions.
