Abstract

The study analyses the efficiency of 165 reoperations for supratentorial gliomas in comparison with of primary surgeries. Presented are the major unfavorable prognostic factors significantly influencing the length and quality of patient’s survival. The efficiency of both primary operations was found to significantly depend on removal extension. New surgical techniques (ultrasound aspiration with microsurgery, laser- and cryosurgery) gave better results, hence more complete removal. Survival rate largely depended on postoperative antiblastic therapy. The best result were obtained due to the chemo- and radiotherapy combination whereas each of these therapies used alone was much less effective. It was demonstrated that with similar prognostic sings and types of surgery the survival after reoperation was significantly lower in patients having I-II and III grade anaplasia and was practically the same in glioblastoma patients. Reoperations, however, prolonged the survival time considerably.
