Abstract：Objective To explore the application value of intraoperative ultrasound in microscopic resection of intracranial deep lesions. Methods Clinical data of 16 patients with intracranial deep lesions were analyzed retrospectively, who underwent intraoperative ultrasound-guided microsurgery. Intraoperative ultrasound was used to determine the location, size, range of lesion and its relationship with the surrounding structures in order to choose the best approach and provide the guidance for resection, monitor the scope and extent of resection and evaluate the surgical outcome. Results Complete removal of the lesions was achieved in 14 patients and subtotal removal in 2. Intraoperative ultrasound results of 16 patients showed that the resection extent was in accordance with postoperative CT and / or MRI except 1 with invasive tumor. After microsurgery, the neurological impairment was aggravated in 1 patient and intracranial infection occurred in 1, both of whom recovered after symptomatic treatment. No death happened. All the patients were followed up for 1 to 12 months, and recovered well. Conclusions Intraoperative ultrasound can accurately locate the intracranial lesions, and is helpful to guide total resection and protect the important surrounding structures and reduce the surgical complications, thus being worthy to be popularized clinically.
