- Surgical resection procedures of meningioma include:[1][2][3]
- Complete meningioma resection, with excision of any involved bone, venous sinuses and dural attachments.
- Complete meningioma resection and coagulation of dural attachment
- Partial meningioma resection sparing the dura
- Subtotal meningioma resection
- The Simpson criteria for meningioma correlates the degree of surgical resection completeness with the probability of symptomatic tumor recurrence:[1][2][3]
