title: Role of surgery in gliomas of cerebral hemispheres in adults.
abstract: Current neurological opinion favours the extensive surgical removal of supratentorial glioma, when feasible, without injury to normal structures. Several recent studies relate the extent of surgical resection to the length and quality of survival. Better surgical results due to microsurgical techniques and operative facilities suggest the re-evaluation of the role of surgery in the overall management of glial tumours.
