Abstract

Objective: The burr-hole technique is a minimally invasive transcranial approach designed to minimize the surgical incision size and reduce disruption to brain tissue. We aimed to share our experience with the burr-hole technique for removing brain lesions and to evaluate its effectiveness in treating appropriately sized intra-axial brain lesions.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed the clinical features, radiological characteristics, surgical techniques, and outcomes of patients who underwent burr-hole surgery for intra-axial brain lesions between January 2019 and December 2023.

Results: A total of 81 patients were included in the study. Gross total resection was achieved in 74 patients (91.4%), whereas subtotal resection was performed in 7 patients (8.6%). There were no perioperative deaths, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, or wound infections. The median follow-up duration was 40.5 months (range, 4.1-63.7 months). At the end of the follow-up period, 14 patients (17.3%) experienced recurrence, including 6 with glioma and 8 with primary cerebral lymphoma. Among these patients, 10 died due to lesion recurrence.

Conclusions: The burr-hole approach using a retractable tubular device is a safe and effective method for the removal of brain lesions. As a novel minimally invasive technique, it significantly facilitates and accelerates the evolution of microsurgical outcomes.

期刊介绍: The goal of Neurosurgical Review is to provide a forum for comprehensive reviews on current issues in neurosurgery. Each issue contains up to three reviews, reflecting all important aspects of one topic (a disease or a surgical approach). Comments by a panel of experts within the same issue complete the topic. By providing comprehensive coverage of one topic per issue, Neurosurgical Review combines the topicality of professional journals with the indepth treatment of a monograph. Original papers of high quality are also welcome.
