Abstract: Glioma or Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most typical primary malignant brain tumor, comprising 16% of all main brain and main nervous system neoplasms, Current neurosurgical innovations aim to enhance our structural, functional and physiologic understanding of the surgical area of interest in order to prevent possible neurological morbidity throughout resection.

Objective: Current review was conducted to overview the surgical procedures of gliomas resection management, we intended to highlight some different approaches for different gliomas and different locations of the brain, also to discuss the outcomes of resection procedures as management method.

Methodology: Literature search was conducted by using electronic databases such; Medline (Pub Med), and Embase for relevant articles concerning Gliomas and surgical management. This review was carried on August 2017.

Conclusion: Gliomas are open to an aggressive surgical approach.  though Glioblastoma is not a disease that can be treated with surgical treatment alone, however securely carried out optimum surgical resection is shown to considerably increase development overall and free survival while making the most of quality of life. there is growing evidence favoring substantial surgical resection and increasing interest in the function of chemotherapy total elimination can boost survival, improve the patient's lifestyle, and use a favorable long-lasting diagnosis.

Keywords: Gliomas, brain tumor, surgical treatment.
