Safety of microneurosurgical interventions for superficial and deep-seated brain metastases: single-center cohort study of 637 consecutive cases.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Microneurosurgical techniques have greatly improved over the past years due to the introduction of new technology and surgical concepts. To reevaluate the role of micro-neurosurgery in brain metastases (BM) resection in the era of new systemic and local treatment options, its safety profile needs to be reassessed. The aim of this study was to analyze the rate of adverse events (AEs) according to a systematic, comprehensive and reliably reproducible grading system after microneurosurgical BM resection in a large and modern microneurosurgical series with special emphasis on anatomical location.

Methods

Prospectively collected cases of BM resection between 2013 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Number of AEs, defined as any deviations from the expected postoperati
