Surgery-related language deterioration. Bar chart comparing surgery-related language worsening between the neuropsychologist (NP) and non-NP group. In the NP group, 53.2% of patients showed no new surgery-related deficits, whereas transient deficits occurred in 40.4% of the patients and permanent deficits occurred in 6.4% of the patients. In the non-NP group, no new surgery-related deficits were documented for 57.1% of patients, whereas 28.6% of the patients were diagnosed with transient deficits and the remaining 14.3% of the patients suffered from permanent deficits. Regarding surgery-related permanent deficits, there was no statistically significant difference between groups (P = 0.48).
