Background: Advancement in diagnosis and treatment of various cancer entities led to an increasing incidence of brain metastases in the last decades. Surgical excision of single and multiple brain metastases is one of the central treatment options beside radiotherapy, radiosurgery and chemotherapy. To evaluate the benefit of surgery with/without whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) in single brain metastases and the influence of image guidance for brain metastases resection, 104 patients were retrospectively evaluated for post-operative outcome. Patients and Methods: Between January 1994 and December 1999 150 patients were surgically treated for brain metastases at the Department of Neurosurgery at the Technical University of Dresden.
