Özet

Maximal safe resection and survival have been found to be significantly related. Maximal

safe surgical resection has become the main surgical goal in glioma surgery. In this regard, surgical resection

involving relatively less involved brain tissues, defined as Supratotal (SpTR) or supramaximal

resection, has come to the fore. It is known that SpTR will significantly increase survival in both lowgrade

and high-grade glioma cases. For the future, the definition of SpTR should be standardized and general

acceptance of the technical limits of the resection in question should be ensured. In addition, patients

who underwent SpTR in large randomized series, free from bias, need to be evaluated in detail in terms

of tumor location, molecular profile and surgical adjuncts used. Provided that the quality of life is preserved,

in other words, provided that the onco-functional balance is maintained, the concept of SpTR is

a candidate for surgical routine in selected cases.
