[Relevance of Simpson's grades in the resection of grade I meningiomas].

Conclusion: For grade I meningiomas there is no significant difference in the recurrence between patients with a Simpson Grade I or II resection, thus increasing morbidity of the surgery is not justified. A new resection scale should be designed taking into account the WHO classification. PMID: 29142775 [PubMed]
