Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of intraoperative ultrasound-guided resection of high-grade gliomas.


Materials and Methods: A prospective descriptive study was conducted on 23 patients diagnosed with high-grade gliomas who underwent surgical resection with intraoperative ultrasound guidance at Saint Paul Hospital from January 2021 to January 2026.


Results: The mean age was 51.4 ± 15.4 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.6:1. Tumors were most commonly located in the frontal (47.8%) and parietal lobes (26.1%). Gross total resection was achieved in 17.4% of cases, subtotal resection in 47.8%, with a good maximal resection rate of 65.2%. Clinical outcomes improved or remained stable in 91.3% of patients. The mean Karnofsky score significantly increased from 61.2 to 75.3 (p = 0.00013). The complication rate was low.


Conclusion: Intraoperative ultrasound is a reliable and effective tool that improves the extent of tumor resection and functional outcomes in high-grade glioma surgery.
