In recent years, advances in the surgical techniques and technologies of glioma removal have driven new paradigms in surgical strategies. We first evaluate the relationship between extensive glioma removal and prognosis and then we introduced novel techniques and technologies to maximize the removal rate and minimal complication rate. These are functional mapping and monitoring under awake craniotomy, intraoperative MRI, and photodynamic diagnosis. These technologies compose of “ information-guided surgery” in which surgeons make a decision not by their own experience but by various kinds of objective and solid information, such as anatomical, functional, and histological information respectively.
