Sodium fluorescein-guided resection under the YELLOW 560 nm surgical microscope filter in malignant brain tumor surgery--a feasibility study

Zusammenfassung

The use of FL for the resection of brain tumors is safe and feasible. Presumably, the visualization of the tumor margin depends on the histopathology and on the pre-treatment status. A randomized evaluation of FL under the YELLOW 560 nm filter is planned to prospectively analyze the extent of resection in patients with malignant brain tumors.
