Stereotactic Radiosurgery Versus Observation in Small- and Medium-Sized Vestibular Schwannoma Patients With Normal Hearing: A Retrospective International Multicenter Study
We found that SRS is significantly superior regarding TC and provided noninferior hearing outcomes compared with OBS in VS patients with American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery class A hearing at presentation. Therefore, we suggest performing SRS in individuals with VS and normal hearing function.
