Long-Term Prospective Quality-of-Life Outcomes in 445 Patients with Sporadic Vestibular Schwannoma
Long-term changes in total QOL among VS management groups are not significantly different. Microsurgery may continue to confer an advantage regarding improvement in anxiety postoperatively, but with a greater decline in facial function when compared to observation or radiosurgery. Long-term declines in hearing loss scores were not statistically significantly different among groups.
