Precision in the Balance: Navigating Vestibular Schwannoma Terrain with Microsurgical Artistry
Main Article Content
Abstract
This comprehensive overview delves into the intricacies of managing vestibular schwannomas through microsurgical resection. Highlighting the significance of this approach in varying clinical scenarios, the discussion encompasses indications, complications, and considerations for specific patient populations, such as those with neurofibromatosis type 2. The conclusion emphasizes the need for meticulous monitoring and individualized care in optimizing outcomes. This exploration contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of microsurgical resection in the multifaceted landscape of vestibular schwannoma treatment.
