While standards for the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastomas exist, therapeutic regimens for tumor recurrence remain mostly individualized. The role of a surgical resection of recurrent glioblastomas remains largely unclear at present. This study aimed to assess the effect of repeated resection of recurrent glioblastomas on patient survival. ⋯ The present study supports the view that surgical resections of recurrent glioblastomas may help to prolong patient survival at an acceptable complication rate.
