Abstract

The article "Resection of Brain Lesions with a Neuroendoscopic Ultrasonic Aspirator — A Systematic Literature Review" provides a comprehensive overview of the use of the neuroendoscopic ultrasonic aspirator (NUA) in brain tumor resections. The authors have compiled data from various studies to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and technical aspects of using NUA in minimally invasive neuroendoscopic procedures. The review includes an analysis of patient outcomes, extent of resection, complications, and follow-up data. However, the review could benefit from addressing the heterogeneity of the included studies, emphasizing the small sample size, and including a cost-benefit analysis. Future research should focus on larger trials, meta-analysis, and exploring advanced imaging and navigation systems. [Extracted from the article]
