Facial Nerve Outcomes After Resection of Aggressive Vestibular Schwannomas That Failed Initial Stereotactic Radiosurgery
STR of failed SRS VS tumor progression is associated with better facial nerve preservation and similar tumor control rate compared with GTR/NTR, underscoring the importance of conservative surgical strategies in these patients. Based on these limited results, radical resection might not be necessary for tumor control after failed SRS for VS.
