To a technique of operative treatment of brain tumors. L. Pussep (Ref. Journ. de chir., 1927, no. 2)

Abstract

Based on his own 25-year experience and observations of 500 brain tumors, of which 420 were operated on, the author recommends operating on patients with these tumors in the lateral position, which prevents loss of cerebrospinal fluid; in the dorsal position he operates only on temporal tumors, and he completely abandoned the sitting position. He attaches great importance to the temperature of the operating room, preferring to operate at 18°-20°.
