    Surgery for insular gliomas is complex due to proximity to critical structures, risking complications and neurological deficits.

  • 2

    Existing classifications, Berger–Sanai and Yasargil, inadequately address the heterogeneity and prognostic value of insular gliomas.

  • 3

    The Integrated Insular Phenotype (IIP) offers a new ordinal classification that correlates better with surgical outcomes and complexity.

  • 4

    The study analyzed 167 patients to compare IIP's prognostic performance against traditional classifications regarding surgical outcomes.

  • 5

    IIP categorizes tumors into three levels: Local, Hybrid, and Multizonal, reflecting their complexity and potential surgical challenges.
