Popis: Aim:Intraoperative ultrasonography is an accessible and cost-effective monitoring technique that provides a simultaneous view with minimum risk. Despite these advantages, it is still not in use. This study aimed to identify whether the ultrasonography technique would be advantageous for both surgeons in the preoperative period and patient in the postoperative period in cases where intraoperative ultrasonography was used.Materials and Methods:This retrospective study included data of the cases (n=113) diagnosed with a brain tumor in Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Hospital between January 01, 2015 and December 31, 2020. The cases operated without using ultrasonography (n=38) formed the control group (group 1), while the cases operated by using ultrasonography (n=75) formed the study group (group 2). In all cases selected randomly, the amount of bleeding during the operation, length of the operation and postoperative stay in the hospital, and residue tumor amount were compared. Data obtained were evaluated statistically. The results were presented in mean±standard deviation and/or percentage (frequency). The alpha significance value was accepted as 0.05) between age (p=0.61), gender (p=0.74), and size of the tumor (p=0.27). It was observed that the average length of the operations of the cases in group 2 was shorter than that of group 1 (p=0.03), and this result was statistically significant (p
