Patti Mueller faced a serious diagnosis: a brain tumor near areas controlling speech and movement.
She underwent an awake craniotomy, where @maxkrucoffmd.bsky.social used AI-powered brain mapping This real-time feedback helped safely remove the tumor without harming critical brain functions.

Awake craniotomy saves Wisconsin woman's life
This type of brain surgery allows doctors to get critical, in-the-moment feedback from the patient.

Out today, a perspective on modern surgical decision making in glioma surgery. #TLDR: it's complicated, and I hope this article helps. The more you understand about gliomas, the more you realize that there is no such thing as a "simple glioma surgery" anymore.

Surgical decision making in the era of supramarginal glioma resections: a current perspective and narrative review
Whether to surgically resect a margin of grossly normal appearing brain around anatomically amenable diffuse gliomas (i.e., perform a supratotal, supramarginal, or supramaximal resection) has been ...

Thank you to the team! This case was special, as we celebrated a patient surviving beyond expectations. >2yrs ago she was herniating from a 6cm insular #gbm. After an urgent late-night resection, she recovered. 25mos later, she had a small recurrence. We confirmed path and cytoreduced using #LITT.

Recently learned @medicalcollegeofwi.bsky.social & @froedtert.bsky.social was top-10 in 2024 for #LITT procedures for neurosurgical oncology in the US. It has been a remarkable treatment for patients with difficult lesions, like this one - a #metastasis which progressed after #SRS. #neurosurgery
