To evaluate value of neuronavigator-assisted microsurgery of glioma located in cerebral functional areas. Methods: Patients with glioma located in cerebral functional areas were underwent operation in Xiangya Hospital. Of 64 patients, 34 patients were performed neuronavigator-assisted microsurgery, and 30 were underwent routine surgical operation. Results: The neuronavigator-assisted microsurgery group showed high complete resection rate with low neurological deficit and cerebral edema compared with the routine surgical group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Neuronavigator-assisted microsurgery is effective and characterized by accurate location, personalized operative incision design, and higher rate of tumor resection.
