Abstract
Background
The maximal safe resection of glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype often creates a large resection cavity that can accommodate more than eight Carmustine implants.
Method
We detail the implantation technique of 13 Carmustine wafers within the surgical bed after a right hippocampal formation-sparing anterior temporal lobectomy allowing for the supra-marginal resection of a glioblastoma IDH-wildtype in an adult patient.
Conclusion
Carmustine wafer implantation is a safe and efficient technique following surgical resection of a glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype. Sequential technical steps are required to improve the safety and the efficacy of Carmustine wafer implantation. More than eight Carmustine wafers could be implanted in large surgical cavities with survival benefits for the patients.
期刊介绍：
The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
