Awake craniotomy is a neurosurgical intervention aimed at identifying and preserving functionally significant areas of the brain while removing tumors located near the cortical and subcortical speech centers. The authors present a review of the modern literature devoted to this problem. The article outlines the strategy of active pedagogical intervention at pre-operative and operative stages, and presents the scheme of the methods of speech diagnostics during intraoperative mapping and the results of the evaluation of the patient's impressive and expressive speech before and after the operation. The aim of the study was to substantiate the importance and necessity of logopedic support for individuals with brain cancer in the course of neurosurgery. The pedagogical aspects concerning the methods of speech examination, their influence on the rehabilitation potential and the opportunities of logopedic intervention are considered for the first time in the domestic speech therapy. The authors consider the logopedist to be the key specialist in the multidisciplinary rehabilitation team, without whom effective recovery of the patient is impossible.
