Abstract
Introduction. The way of placing of Ommaya reservoir for patients with neurooncological and oncohematological diseases by the new gadget Thomale Guide without costly navigation equipment described in this article.
Materials and methods. Nineteenth surgeries with usage of Thomale Guide were done from April 2015 to August 2016 in Dmitry Rogachev NRC PHOI.
Results. In all 19 cases ventricular catheter was successfully placed to the lateral ventricle that was confirmed by successful functioning of Ommaya reservoir.
Conclusion. Simple and easy available Thomale Guide technique allows to implement the concept “to deliver equipment to a patient, but not a patient to equipment”. Nowadays specialist of Dmitry Rogachev NRC PHOI can place Ommaya reservoir in Regions of Russia in the clinics where the intraventricular chemotherapy must be done, but there is no technical possibility to place the Ommaya reservoir.
