Objective To summarize the surgical experiences of low-grade glioma on functional areas. Methods Fifty-four patients with low-grade glioma on functional areas were treated in our department from December 2009 to December 2012. We retrospectively analyzed their clinical data. Results Thirty-six cases were located preoperatively by diffusion tensor imaging, 13 patients underwent intraoperative B ultrasound tumor localization, and 5 underwent intraoperative wake-up anesthesia. Total resection of tumors was performed on 42 patients, subtotal resection on 10, and partial resection on 2, and no patient died during the operation. The follow-up ranged from 6 to 24 months averaging 12. There was no significant difference in Karnofsky performance scale before and after surgery (P>0.05). Conclusion The comprehensive application of various localization methods can protect function to the best advantage and resect tumor to the largest degree, and thus improves patients' quality of life.
