PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·4w agoHandheld cochlear nerve action potential mapping for real-time functional navigation in vestibular schwannoma surgeryReal-time cochlear nerve action potential mapping with a handheld probe is a promising intraoperative tool for hearing preservation in vestibular schwannoma surgery, but clinical adoption should await larger prospective validation studies.
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·6w agoMultidisciplinary practice in vestibular schwannoma surgery over a decade: optimizing facial nerve and hearing outcomes and analyzing the predictive role of tumor-related radiological featuresTumor-specific radiological features may help predict facial nerve and hearing preservation outcomes before vestibular schwannoma surgery, which could inform surgical planning and patient counseling — but the specific predictive variables and effect sizes should be reviewed...＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Clinical audiology·8w agoSurgical management of facial nerve schwannomas: a contemporary series of 67 surgeriesThis case series offers useful benchmarking data on surgical approaches and outcomes across facial nerve segments, but as a single-institution retrospective series it is not practice-changing on its own; surgeons managing these rare tumors should review it for comparative...＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·8w agoThe role of stereotactic radiosurgery in the management of vestibular schwannoma in octogenarians: an international multi-institutional studyFor octogenarians with vestibular schwannoma, this multi-institutional dataset supports stereotactic radiosurgery as a reasonable management option; clinicians treating elderly patients should note the age-specific safety and efficacy data when counseling on treatment choice.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·2mo agoSingle-stage retrosigmoid versus translabyrinthine resection of vestibular schwannomas: impact of tumor volume on surgical, functional, and radiological outcomesTumour volume significantly influences outcomes in single-stage vestibular schwannoma surgery; surgeons should factor tumour size when selecting between retrosigmoid and translabyrinthine approaches, but audiologists have no direct practice change from this finding.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·4mo agoActive surveillance versus stereotactic radiosurgery for Koos grade I and II vestibular schwannoma in patients aged 60 years or olderAudiologists co-managing older patients with small vestibular schwannomas should note this retrospective evidence on hearing outcomes with active surveillance vs. radiosurgery, though prospective data are needed before definitive guidance can be issued.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·5mo agoLong-term outcomes of Gamma Knife surgery for vestibular schwannomas: tumor stability supports reduced surveillance after 10 yearsClinicians co-managing vestibular schwannoma patients treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery may reasonably discuss reduced MRI surveillance frequency with neurosurgery after 10 years of documented tumor stability, pending institutional protocol updates.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·5mo agoRisks associated with ventriculomegaly and symptomatic communicating hydrocephalus following stereotactic radiosurgery for vestibular schwannomaSurgeons and neurotologists managing vestibular schwannoma patients post-radiosurgery should be aware of the identified risk factors for ventriculomegaly and communicating hydrocephalus to guide follow-up imaging schedules, though specific risk factors and their magnitude...＋Save
