High Grade Gliomas (HGG) still remain the most demanding neuro-oncological challenge. Several studies have confirmed that the extent of resection (EOR) correlates with increased survival in patients with HGGs. The Gross Total Resection (GTR) of HGGs can be difficult and challenging. For this reason, technologies to improve EOR have been of interest. The aim of this paper is to analyze advantages and limitations of both intra-operative fluorescence and intra-operative ultrasound (IOUS) resection techniques.

Abstract
High Grade Gliomas (HGG) still remain the most demanding neuro-oncological challenge. Several studies have confirmed that the extent of resection (EOR) correlates with increased survival in patients with HGGs. The Gross Total Resection (GTR) of HGGs can be difficult and challenging. For this reason, technologies to improve EOR have been of interest. The aim of this paper is to analyze advantages and limitations of both intra-operative fluorescence and intra-operative ultrasound (IOUS) resection techniques.
