The introduction of the neuroendoscopic ultrasonic aspirator (NUA) increased the treatment spectrum of neuroendoscopy. This review aimed to present a systematic overview of the extent of resection, lesion characteristics, technical aspects, complications, and clinical outcomes related to using the NUA. Articles were identified by searching the PubMed\/Medline, Embase, and Web of Science database through June 2022 with restriction to the last 20\u00a0years. We included case series, case reports, clinical trials, controlled clinical trials, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, reviews, and systematic reviews written in English. Studies reporting on endonasal approach or hematoma evacuation using the NUA were excluded. The references of the identified studies were reviewed as well. Nine full-text articles were included in the analysis, with a total of 40 patients who underwent surgery for a brain tumor using NUA. The most common underlying pathology treated by NUA was colloid cyst (17.5%), pilocytic astrocytoma (12.5%), subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (7.5%), subependymoma (7.5%), and craniopharyngioma (7.5%). Complete or near-total resection was achieved in 62.5%. The most frequently reported postoperative complication was secondary hydrocephalus (10%), meningitis\/-encephalitis (7.5%), cognitive impairment (7.5%), and subdural hygroma (7.5%). In one case (2.5%), surgery-related death occurred due to a severe course of meningoencephalitis. According to the preliminary data, NUA seems to be a safe and efficient minimally invasive alternative to conventional microscopic resection of brain tumors. Further studies to investigate advantages and disadvantages of using the NUA are needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10143-022-01837-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,28]],"date-time":"2022-07-28T00:04:36Z","timestamp":1658966676000},"page":"3109-3118","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Resection of brain lesions with a neuroendoscopic ultrasonic aspirator \u2014 a systematic literature review"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"45","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9785-6926","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Florian","family":"Ebel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ladina","family":"Greuter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raphael","family":"Guzman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jehuda","family":"Soleman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"1837_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/898753","volume":"2013","author":"SM Barber","year":"2013","unstructured":"Barber SM, Rangel-Castilla L, Baskin D (2013) Neuroendoscopic resection of intraventricular tumors: a systematic outcomes analysis.
