The use of the YELLOW 560 nm surgical microscope filter for sodium fluorescein-guided resection of brain tumors: Our preliminary results in a series of 28 patients

Highlights • Na-Fl accumulates in tumoral tissues via disrupted blood-brain barrier. • Na-Fl is used to increase the extent of resection in brain tumor surgery. • The cost of the drug is relatively low compared to 5-ALA. • Na-Fl guidance with the use of a YELLOW 560 filter is safe and effective....
