Reoperations in Supratentorial Low-grade Gliomas Involving Eloquent Structures

Conclusions: Extensive resection in either the first or subsequent surgeries should be considered as the first line of treatment in patients with LGGs involving or located close to eloquent cortices or other deep-seated important structures even in the absence of intraoperative electrical stimulation. Adjuvant therapy, especially radiotherapy, should be questioned in those who have shown malignant transformation to grade-III. We underline that extended surgery would be the most effective therapy for LGG patients even in recurrent diseases.
