The author presents an analysis of using neuronavigation and intraoperative ultrasound in 317 patients after surgical treatment of intracranial tumors. High efficacy of the intraoperative ultrasound visualization has been shown in the detection of remaining parts of the intracranial tumor, improved radical surgery and less lesion to the brain. The strategy of using neuronavigation and intraoperative ultrasound visualization with the tumor size (volume) taken into consideration has been developed.
