  • Total Resection of Craniopharyngioma and Treatment of Post-operation Complications
    Journal of Chinese Physician, 2004
    Co-Authors: Zhou Wen-ke
    Abstract:

    Objective To investigate the method of total resection of craniopharyngioma and prevention and treatment of post-operative complications. Methods Pterion craniotomy was performed in 24 patients with craniopharyngioma which was situated in sellar region after giving glucocorticoid and anti-epilepsy drug. The tumors were removed via the 4 anatomy spaces in sellar region by employing microsurgical technique. Consciousness, urine volume, and serum electrolyte of patients were observed strictly after surgery, and complications such as diabetes insipidus, serum electrolyte Disorders and epilepsy were treated in time. Results Total removal of tumors were achieved in 22 cases, and minor portion of tumors was left in 2 cases. There was not obvious deficit of nervous system function in all of the patients after surgery. Diabetes insipidus, serum electrolyte Disorder and Body Temperature Disorder occurred in 16 cases, 12 case, and 6 cases respectively. After treatment, serum electrolyte Disorder and Body Temperature Disorder were rectified in all cases, and diabetes insipidus was rectified in 13 of 16 cases. Conclusion Choosing the best operation approach according to the scope of tumor invasion and being familiar with the 4 sellar anatomy spaces were the keys to remove craniopharyngioma completely. Giving glucocorticoid before operation and active treatment of complications such as diabetes insipidus and serum electrolyte Disorder could effectively decrease mortality.

  • Total resection of craniopharyngioma and treatment of post-operation complications
    Chinese Journal of Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, 2003
    Co-Authors: Zhou Wen-ke
    Abstract:

    Objective To investigate the methods of complete resection of craniopharyngioma and of treatment of complications after operation. Methods Pterional craniotomy was performed in 24 patients with craniopharyngioma which situated at sellar region after giving glucocorticoid and anti-epilepsy drugs. The tumors were removed via the 4 anatomy spaces in sellar region by employing microsurgical technique. Consciousness, urine, and serum electrolyte of patients were observed strictly after surgery, and complications were treated in time. Results Total removal of tumors were achieved in 22 cases, and minor portion of tumors were left in 2 cases. All of the patients were sober after surgery. Diabetes insipidus, serum electrolyte Disorder and Body Temperature Disorder took palace in 16 cases, 12 case, and 6 cases respectively. After treatment, serum electrolyte Disorder and Body Temperature Disorder were rectified in all cases, but diabetes insipidus was rectified in 13 of 16 cases. Conclusion Choosing the best operation approach and being familiar with the 4 sellar anatomy spaces are the keys to remove craniopharyngioma completely. Giving glucocorticoid before operation and active treatment of complications can decrease mortality observably.

  • Total removal of craniopharyngioma and treatment of complications: experience with 13 patients
    China Medical Engineering, 2006
    Co-Authors: Zhang Kai
    Abstract:

    [Objective] To investigate the method of total resection of craniopharyngioma and prevention and treatment of post-operative complications. [Methods] Pterion craniotomy for 9 cases and frontbasal approach for 4 case were perfomed respectively after giving glucocorticoid and anti- epilepsy drug and testing BMR. The tumors were removed via the 4 anatomy space in sellar region by employing microsurgical technique. consciousness, urine volume, serum electrolyte of patients were observed strictly after sugery, and complications such as diabetes insipidus, serum electrolyte Disorders and epilesy were treated in time. [Result] Total removals of tumors were achieved in 11 cases and minor portion of tumors was left in 2 cases. there was not obvious deficit of nervous system function in all of the patients after surgery. Diabetes insipidus, serum electroyte Disorder and Temperature Disorder ocurred in 10 cases, 9 cases and 5 cases respectively. After treatment diabetes insipidus electrolyte Disorder and Body Temperature Disorder were rectified in all cases. [Conclusion] Choosing the best operation approach according to the scope of tumor invasion and being familiar with the sellar anatomy spaces were the keys to remove craniopharyngioma completely. Giving glucocorticoid before operation and active treament of complications could effectively decrease mortality.
