Long-term outcomes of ventricular entry in high grade glioma resection: A meta-Analysis and meta regression

Key Points

• Long-term outcomes indicate that ventricular entry affects patient prognosis after high-grade glioma resection.
• Survival analysis showed that patients with ventricular entry had a median survival of 21 months compared to 14 months without.
• Meta-analysis assessed 15 studies detailing preoperative conditions and surgical techniques utilized during resections.
• Findings highlight the need for careful surgical considerations regarding ventricular entry in glioma procedures.
