Abstract：Objective To investigate the efficacy of intraoperative combined appliction of ultrasonography and sodium fluorescein for resection of glioma. Methods The clinical data of 40 patients with glioma were analyzed retrospectively. Combination of ultrasonography and sodium fluorescein was applied during the glioma resection. Based on ultrasound-illustrated the location, size, blood circulation and peripheral blood flow situation of the tumor, the surgical approach was designed and real-time observation of tumor residues performed. The tumor and normal brain tissue were clearly identified by observing staining of sodium fluorescein. Results Total resection of the tumor was achieved in 33 cases and subtotal resection in 7. Surgical treatment was effective and no death occurred. Conclusions Intraoperative combination of ultrasonography and sodium fluorescein during the resection of glioma is safe and effective, can improve the total resection rate and reduce postoperative complications.
