Gamma knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannomas.
Radiosurgery is a surgical procedure associated with minimal functional morbidity and allows patients to return rapidly to their previous level of activity.

متن کاملGamma Knife Radiosurgery for the Vestibular Schwannomas, Technical Considerations and Hydrocephalus as a Complication
Vestibular schwannomas are slow-growing, benign tumours. Microsurgery has been the standard treatment for vestibular schwannoma over the past 30 years. Following the introduction of stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of vestibular schwannoma in 1969, its increasing use worldwide had led to its acceptance by many as a safe and efficient alternative to microsurgery. The primary advantage...
متن کاملGamma Knife Radiosurgery for Vestibular Schwannomas and Quality of Life Evaluation.
BACKGROUND Further investigation is needed to look at the impact of vestibular schwannoma (VS) on the health-related quality of life (QOL) of participants who undergo Gamma Knife® radiosurgery (GKRS). OBJECTIVES Investigators compared the QOL for VS participants to reported US population norms in order to evaluate disease burden and long-term QOL several years after GKRS. METHODS This cross...
