Narrative review reveals connectome-guided neurosurgery improves outcomes in CNS tumors, suggesting innovative treatment approaches.

Key Points

The study aims to explore the role of connectome-guided neurosurgery in managing Central Nervous System tumors and preserving neurological function during tumor resection.
Conducted a narrative review of literature from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar from January 2000 to May 2025.
Identified articles using keywords related to connectomics and neurosurgery.
Examined studies on conventional and novel treatments for CNS tumors, including gliomas.
Analyzed the implications of structural and functional connectomes for preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance.
Connectome-guided neurosurgery redefines brain tumors as network disorders.
Structural (DTI/tractography) and functional (fMRI, MEG, EEG) connectomes enhance surgical planning and outcomes.
A multiphase strategy is recommended for tumor management, including potential rehabilitation and chemotherapy.
Challenges include tractography errors, high costs, and training limitations for neurosurgeons.
