SCDT-17. DECREASED OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS WITH IMAGE-GUIDED OMMAYA RESERVOIR INSERTION: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

摘要

OBJECTIVEOne of the classic technologies facilitating therapeutic drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) is the Ommaya reservoir. Subcutaneous Ommaya reservoir insertion (ORI) has been available as a treatment option for targeted intraventricular pharmacotherapy since the 1960’s. The intraventricular catheter has conventionally been inserted freehand. However, advancements in image-guidance (IG) over the past two decades has enabled IG-ORI as a viable, and arguably preferred, alternative to blind insertion. In this study, we sought to compile evidence from the literature about surgical outcome in ORI to assess the impact of IG on safety and efficacy.
