Summary:Successful resection of vascular-rich tumors in based on controlling to bleed during operation. Therefore, hemorrhage and hemostasis has consistently been a challenge to meningioma surgery. Six cases of large-sized meningiomas were treated with microwave coagulator. Putting the heat effects of microwave into practical application results in superior coagulation and hemostasis. All tumors were totally removed with minimal blood loss. For surgical removal of large bloody tumors such as meningiomas, the microwave operative instrument is a safe and useful surgical tool.
