Endoscope-assisted visualization of 5-aminolevulinic acid fluorescence in surgery for brain metastases

Christoph Bettag et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the utility of endoscope assistance in 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence-guided resection of brain metastases. The results showed that endoscope assistance can increase the visibility of fluorescent tumor tissue.

Endoscope-assisted fluorescence-guided resection allowing supratotal removal in glioblastoma surgery

Christoph Bettag et al.

Summary: The study found that combined microscopic and endoscopic fluorescence-guided resection significantly increases the extent of resection in GBM patients, allowing surgeons to achieve a supratotal resection beyond the borders of contrast enhancement in noneloquently located GBM.
