The asleep-awake-asleep anesthetic technique for intraoperative language mapping.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Awake craniotomy with intraoperative electric stimulation is a reliable method for extensive removal of low-grade gliomas while preserving the functional integrity of eloquent surrounding brain structures. Although fully awake procedures have been proposed, asleep-awake-asleep remains the standard technique....
