Complete surgical resection that minimizes postoperative neurologic deficits has been demonstrated to be the best treatment for low-grade gliomas. Cytoreduction achieved with surgery will maintain its value, as it offers and irritative impairments and intracranial hypertension symptoms, and contributes to an increase in the interval to malignant progression. Following this line of reasoning, many modern series support the idea of resecting the largest possible volume of tumor. Modern technologies have invaded our perioperative work-up in many ways, including planning surgical stations, neuronavigation systems, robotic surgery, high definition endoscopes, and fluorescence-guided techniques. However, this diagnostic and therapeutic armamentarium should never obscure or replace a strong knowledge of the regional and internal insular anatomy, vascularization, and topography.

Abstract
Complete surgical resection that minimizes postoperative neurologic deficits has been demonstrated to be the best treatment for low-grade gliomas. Cytoreduction achieved with surgery will maintain its value, as it offers and irritative impairments and intracranial hypertension symptoms, and contributes to an increase in the interval to malignant progression. Following this line of reasoning, many modern series support the idea of resecting the largest possible volume of tumor. Modern technologies have invaded our perioperative work-up in many ways, including planning surgical stations, neuronavigation systems, robotic surgery, high definition endoscopes, and fluorescence-guided techniques. However, this diagnostic and therapeutic armamentarium should never obscure or replace a strong knowledge of the regional and internal insular anatomy, vascularization, and topography.Pubblicazioni consigliate
