Anything is Possible: Maximizing Functional Outcome AND Tumor Control in Vestibular Schwannoma
6th March, 2026, 07:30 - 08:30
Pacific A
This session will consist of experts discussing the critical issues regarding maximizing safe tumor resection. This includes experienced surgeons discussing the `where is the balance,` what postop deficits, if any, are acceptable and in what circumstances? What is the best intraoperative neuromonitoring method to help guide resection and when to `stop?` Finally, experts discuss when should any residual tumor be treated? This session is for anyone counseling and treating patients with vestibular schwannomas.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Articulate how aggressive to be when operating on a vestibular schwannoma.
- Predict what intraoperative neuromonitoring feedback can help guide resection.
- Choose when to treat residual tumors and with what modality.
