Primary Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Trigeminal Schwannoma: A Retrospective Analysis of Long-Term Functional Outcomes
Primary GKS achieves durable tumor control for TS with lower risk than microsurgery. However, a considerable proportion of patients may experience long-term trigeminal dysfunction. Adequate dosing may mitigate sensory morbidity, though pain relief remains modest. Careful selection, counseling, and follow-up are essential.
