Analysis of the frequency of achieving maximal safe resection (≥95% of tumor volume) showed a trend toward higher rates in the IOUS group (62.2% vs. 44.4%, P = 0.08).

Functional outcomes at discharge, assessed using the mRS, were numerically better in the IOUS group, although the difference did not reach statistical significance (deterioration ≥1 point: 20.0% vs. 35.6%, P = 0.09), suggesting a limited clinical impact of most postoperative motor deficits.
