Abstract
Objective: To review the literature on second-look surgery in pediatric low-grade gliomas (LGG) with a view to presenting both sides of the picture of re-exploration.
Methods: Collection of material from recent literature on pediatric LGG. This was a retrospective review of these publications.
Results: There are a number of publications recommending second-look surgery in selected cases, provided morbidity of the second surgery is minimum, and indeed some in which there is improvement in the neurodeficit after the second resection.
Conclusion: There seems a fair balance of articles recommending and dissuading the practice of second-look surgery, but in our limited experience we have found it useful in selected patients.
期刊介绍：
The journal has been expanded to encompass all aspects of pediatric neurosciences concerning the developmental and acquired abnormalities of the nervous system and its coverings, functional disorders, epilepsy, spasticity, basic and clinical neuro-oncology, rehabilitation and trauma. Global pediatric neurosurgery is an additional field of interest that will be considered for publication in the journal.
