Hearing Preservation Outcomes in 230 Consecutive Patients with Small Vestibular Schwannomas Treated with Microsurgery
Microsurgical resection for patients with small VS is associated with good hearing preservation and excellent facial nerve outcomes. Because larger tumor size portends poorer hearing outcomes, for patients who elect to undergo microsurgical resection for hearing preservation, proactive surgical intervention when tumors are ≤10 mm should be considered to increase the likelihood of hearing preservation.
