Description
Summary:	62 patients were operated on brain tumor using intraoperative ultrasound navigation. Method proved to be effective for tumor localization, its volume measurement, identification of the surrounding anatomic structures and choice of the optimal encephalotomy access. Intraoperative sonography enables biopsy of deep lying tumors and evaluation of radicality of the operation. Method showed to be especially effective by surgical treatment of infiltrative tumors.
