Focus on nerves function protection and develop modern surgery for vestibular schwannoma

Pi⁃nan LIU

Abstract


Vestibular schwannoma is the most common intracranial schwannoma. The treatment concept is changing from simple surgical resection to the integrated strategy of observation and follow⁃up, stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and surgical resection. Higher requirements are put forward for the function perservation of the facial nerve and the cochlear nerve. Neurosurgeons should pay attention to the protection of nerve function and actively develop modern vestibular schwannoma surgery.
