A Survey of 251 Facial Paralysis Patients to Assess Their Educational Preparedness and Symptom Management after Treatment of Vestibular Schwannoma
Significant gaps in preparation and management of FP were identified. Preoperative FP led to improved perception of care; however, the delivery was similar to those without it. Studies of surgeons who manage VS are needed to better understand how they prepare patients for the emotional and physical sequelae of FP.
