Risk Factors for Progression in Vestibular Schwannomas After Incomplete Resection: A Single Center Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT: Background and Purpose: The risk factors for progression in vestibular schwannomas (VSs) after incomplete resection (IR) remain to be elucidated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors for progression in remnant VSs after surgery. Methods: From January 2009 to January 2018, 140 consecutive patients who underwent IR of VSs via suboccipital retrosigmoid approach in our institution were retrospectively analyzed. During follow-up, if progression was detected, the patient was classified into Progressive Group (PG); if the residual tumor was stable or shrank, the patient was classified into Stable Group (SG). Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the risk factors for progression after IR of VSs. Results: After a mean follow-up of 80.4 months (
