Background The goal of glioblastoma (GBM) surgery is to maximize the extent of resection
(EOR) while minimizing postoperative neurological complications. Awake craniotomy (AC) …

Purpose Neurosurgeons adopt several different surgical approaches to deal with
glioblastomas (GB) located in or near eloquent areas. Some attempt maximal safe resection …

Background Surgery of GBM nowadays is usually performed under general anesthesia (GA)
and resections are often not as aggressive as possible, due to the chance of seriously …

Background Awake craniotomy with electrocortical and subcortical mapping (AC) has
become the mainstay of surgical treatment of supratentorial low-grade gliomas in eloquent …

Objective Awake craniotomy (AC) with intraoperative stimulation mapping is the standard
treatment for gliomas, especially those on the eloquent cortex. Many studies have reported …

Conclusions Most investigators and studies agree that the ACWM is the best currently
available approach to optimize oncofunctional balance in this difficult-to-treat patient …

Simple Summary This article aims to comprehensively review the current literature on the
benefits of awake craniotomy in gliomas of the non-dominant right hemisphere. A systematic …

Awake craniotomy has become an increasingly utilized procedure in the treatment of
supratentorial intra-axial tumors. The popularity of this procedure is partially attributable to …

Background Awake mapping has been associated with decreased neurological deficits and
increased extent of resection in eloquent glioma resections. However, its effect within …

Introduction Multiple studies have demonstrated that improved extent of resection is
associated with longer overall survival for patients with both high and low grade glioma …
