متن کاملLong-Term Hearing Outcome After Retrosigmoid Removal of Vestibular Schwannoma
Although many investigators have reported the hearing function in the immediate postoperative period in patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS), little is known about the long-term outcomes of the postoperative hearing. The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term hearing outcomes at a mean follow-up of 5 years in patients with unilateral VS treated via the retrosigmoid approach. Twenty-...
