Combined subtotal resection and stereotactic radiosurgery for large vestibular schwannomas: A systematic review and meta-analysis
STR/NTR followed by SRS is an effective treatment for large VSs, optimizing tumor control while enhancing facial nerve and hearing preservation compared to GTR alone. Patients with favorable preoperative function benefit most. Cystic tumors may require closer follow-up due to increased recurrence risk.
