Near-total resection in sporadic vestibular schwannoma: is there a volumetric threshold for a win-win scenario?
These findings suggest that limited NTR (< 250 mm3) offered an excellent compromise, with long-term tumor control comparable to that of radical resection while preserving superior functional preservation. The authors hope to stimulate discussion toward a unified volumetrically established classification of incomplete resections, allowing for cooperation in future multicenter studies.
