Object The goals of this retrospective cohort study were as follows: 1) to describe the long-
term prevalence and timing of hearing deterioration following low-dose (12-to 13-Gy …

BACKGROUND An understanding of the hearing outcomes is needed for treatment
counseling for patients with vestibular schwannomas (VS). OBJECTIVE To determine long …

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to reappraise long-term treatment outcomes of
stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for vestibular schwannomas (VSs). The authors used a …

Radiosurgery has evolved into an effective alternative to microsurgical resection in the
treatment of patients with vestibular schwannoma. We performed a systematic analysis of …

BACKGROUND: Cochlear dose has been identified as a potentially modifiable contributor to
hearing loss after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for vestibular schwannoma (VS) …

Object Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) has evolved into a practical alternative to open
microsurgical resection in the treatment of patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS) …

OBJECTIVE: Microsurgery and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for vestibular schwannomas
are associated with a relatively high incidence of sensorineural hearing loss. A prospective …

Purpose Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are increasingly diagnosed in patients with normal
hearing because of advances in magnetic resonance imaging. We sought to evaluate …

Object The goal in this study was to evaluate hearing preservation rates and to determine
prognostic factors for this outcome following fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) of …

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for vestibular schwannomas has evolved and improved
over time. Although early short-term follow-up reports suggest that fractionation yields …
