Safety and surgical outcomes of fluorescein sodium use in vestibular schwannoma: experience from 55 consecutive cases

Intraoperative fluorescein sodium appears to be a safe adjunct in vestibular schwannoma surgery based on 55 consecutive cases, but the retrospective, uncontrolled design means neurotology teams should treat this as hypothesis-generating rather than practice-changing evidence.

Single-stage retrosigmoid versus translabyrinthine resection of vestibular schwannomas: impact of tumor volume on surgical, functional, and radiological outcomes

Tumour 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.

Development and temporal validation of a prediction model for cognitive impairment in older adults with hearing loss based on the population health risk management framework

The prediction model is promising for risk stratification but is based on cross-sectional data, limiting causal inference; audiologists should not alter cognitive screening workflows until prospective validation in clinical cohorts is published.
