title: [Tumor removal using performance ultrasound. Report of 50 brain tumor operations].
abstract: A report is given on the method of the tumour aspiration of cerebral tumours by means of power ultrasound. After classical exposure of the tumour--obligatory performance with physical-pharmacological reduction of the metabolism and in most cases under hypotension--the tumour is destroyed by ultrasonic power and simultaneously aspirated. A report is given on 50 cerebral tumour operations, which were carried out in Karl-Marx-Stadt within two years, using the tumour aspiration system "Aspirus 120". Finally the advantages of the method are summarised and dangers interpreted. At the end a valuation of the method is attempted and an outlook is given.
