Awake Craniotomy with Functional Mapping and Maximal Safe Resection
This procedure can be considered when the glioma is located in or suspected of involving functional areas such as language and motor areas, and imaging evaluation suggests the presence of a resection window, in order to balance resection and functional protection. The decision is based on tumor grad

How Awake Craniotomy with Functional Mapping and Maximal Safe Resection is performed
This procedure is often used when the lesion is adjacent to language or motor functional areas. Awake-sedation anesthesia can be selected and combined with neuronavigation and intraoperative electrical stimulation. Usually, after image localization, the approach is planned, and the tumor is removed step by step under a microscope, while monitoring language/limb tasks and neurophysiological feedback to protect key pathways as much as possible. After hemostasis and reconstruction are completed, the incision is closed, and postoperative imaging evaluation and neurological function monitoring are performed. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
