[PMID: 38008681 DOI: 10.1016/j.surge.2023.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies from the UK reporting on awake craniotomy (AC) include a heterogenous group of patients which limit the evaluation of the true impact of AC in high-grade glioma (HGG) patients. This study aims to report solely the experience and outcomes of AC for HGG surgery from our centre. METHODS A prospective review of all patients who underwent AC for HGG from 2013 to 2019 were performed. Data on patient characteristics including but not limited to demographics, pre- and post-operative Karnofsky performance status (KPS), tumour location and volume, type of surgery, extent of resection (EOR), tumour histopathology, intra- and post-operative complications, morbidity, mortality, disease recurrence, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from the time of surgery were collected. RESULTS Fifteen patients (6 males; 9 females; 17 surgeries) underwent AC for HGG (median age = 55 years). Two patients underwent repeat surgeries due to disease recurrence. Median pre- and post-operative KPS score was 90 (range:80-100) and 90 (range:60-100), respectively. The EOR ranges from 60 to 100 % with a minimum of 80 % achieved in 81.3 % cases. Post-operative complications include focal seizures (17.6 %), transient aphasia/dysphasia (17.6 %), permanent motor deficit (11.8 %), transient motor deficit (5.9 %) and transient sensory disturbance (5.9 %). There were no surgery-related mortality or post-operative infection. The median PFS and OS were 13 (95%CI 5-78) and 30 (95%CI 21-78) months, respectively. CONCLUSION This is the first study in the UK to solely report outcomes of AC for HGG surgery. Our data demonstrates that AC for HGG in eloquent region is safe, feasible and provides comparable outcomes to those reported in the literature.

Resection of high-grade glioma involving language areas assisted by multimodal techniques under general anesthesia: a retrospective study. Chin Neurosurg J 2023; 9:25. [PMID: 37691110 PMCID: PMC10494413 DOI: 10.1186/s41016-023-00340-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multimodal techniques-assisted resection of glioma under general anesthesia (GA) has been shown to achieve similar clinical outcomes as awake craniotomy (AC) in some studies. In this study, we aim to validate the use of multimodal techniques can achieve the maximal safe resection of high-grade glioma involving language areas (HGILAs) under GA. METHODS HGILAs cases were reviewed and collected between January 2009 and December 2020 in our center. Patients were separated into multimodal group (using neuronavigation, intraoperative MRI combined with direct electrical stimulation [DES] and neuromonitoring [IONM]) and conventional group (neuronavigation alone) and clinical outcomes were compared between groups. Studies of HGILAs were reviewed systematically and the meta-analysis results of previous (GA or AC) studies were compared with our results. RESULTS Finally, there were 263 patients in multimodal group and 137 patients in conventional group. Compared to the conventional group, the multimodal group achieved the higher median EOR (100% versus 94.32%, P < 0.001) and rate of gross total resection (GTR) (73.8% versus 36.5%, P < 0.001) and the lower incidence of permanent language deficit (PLD) (9.5% versus 19.7%, P = 0.004). The multimodal group achieved the longer median PFS (16.8 versus 10.3 months, P < 0.001) and OS (23.7 versus 15.7 months, P < 0.001) than the conventional group. The multimodal group achieved a higher rate of GTR than the cohorts in previous multimodal studies under GA and AC (73.8% versus 55.7% [95%CI 32.0-79.3%] versus 53.4% [35.5-71.2%]). The multimodal group had a lower incidence of PLD than the cohorts in previous multimodal studies under GA (9.5% versus 14.0% [5.8-22.1%]) and our incidence of PLD was a little higher than that of previous multimodal studies under AC (9.5% versus 7.5% [3.7-11.2%]). Our multimodal group also achieved a relative longer survival than previous studies. CONCLUSIONS Surgery assisted by multimodal techniques can achieve maximal safe resection for HGILAs under GA. Further prospective studies are needed to compare GA with AC for HGILAs.

Front Oncol 2023; 12:1090170. [PMID: 36741717 PMCID: PMC9892894 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1090170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To establish a predictive model to predict the occurrence of language deficit for patients after surgery of glioma involving language areas (GILAs) under general anesthesia (GA). Methods Patients with GILAs were retrospectively collected in our center between January 2009 and December 2020. Clinical variables (age, sex, aphasia quotient [AQ], seizures and KPS), tumor-related variables (recurrent tumor or not, volume, language cortices invaded or not, shortest distance to language areas [SDLA], supplementary motor area or premotor area [SMA/PMA] involved or not and WHO grade) and intraoperative multimodal techniques (used or not) were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis to identify their association with temporary or permanent language deficits (TLD/PLD). The predictive model was established according to the identified significant variables. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the accuracy of the predictive model. Results Among 530 patients with GILAs, 498 patients and 441 patients were eligible to assess TLD and PLD respectively. The multimodal group had the higher EOR and rate of GTR than conventional group. The incidence of PLD was 13.4% in multimodal group, which was much lower than that (27.6%, P<0.001) in conventional group. Three factors were associated with TLD, including SDLA (OR=0.85, P<0.001), preoperative AQ (OR=1.04, P<0.001) and multimodal techniques used (OR=0.41, P<0.001). Four factors were associated with PLD, including SDLA (OR=0.83, P=0.001), SMA/PMA involved (OR=3.04, P=0.007), preoperative AQ (OR=1.03, P=0.002) and multimodal techniques used (OR=0.35, P<0.001). The optimal shortest distance thresholds in detecting the occurrence of TLD/PLD were 1.5 and 4mm respectively. The optimal AQ thresholds in detecting the occurrence of TLD/PLD were 52 and 61 respectively. The cutoff values of the predictive probability for TLD/PLD were 23.7% and 16.1%. The area under ROC curve of predictive models for TLD and PLD were 0.70 (95%CI: 0.65-0.75) and 0.72 (95%CI: 0.66-0.79) respectively. Conclusion The use of multimodal techniques can reduce the risk of postoperative TLD/PLD after removing GILAs under general anesthesia. The established predictive model based on clinical variables can predict the probability of occurrence of TLD and PLD, and it had a moderate predictive accuracy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Awake craniotomy has been widely used for tumor resection, epilepsy surgery, deep brain stimulation, and carotid endarterectomy. The report on awake artery malformation clipping is rare, especially for anesthesia management.
CASE SUMMARY A 62-year-old female diagnosed with malformation of anterior cerebral artery at the right side. We clipped the artery malformation with intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) in awake craniotomy. Spontaneous respiration was maintained throughout the procedure by nasopharyngeal airway during the surgery successfully.
CONCLUSION The technique of monitoring anesthesia care can be performed successfully for the patient with IONM.
