Any involved dura should be resected with a duraplasty. Implement strategies specific to particular locations for managing meningiomas. Coagulate dural blood vessels when opening the dura for convexity meningiomas. Perform dural grafting for parasagittal meningiomas. The primary consideration for these tumors is determining the involvement with the superior sagitt
