Abstract
Background and objectives: Trigeminal schwannoma are rare benign tumors arising from the trigeminal nerve, often requiring surgical intervention for symptom relief and functional preservation. This systematic review compares functional outcomes and complication rates between endoscopic and microscopic resection approaches.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus to identify studies meeting inclusion criteria. Data on patient demographics, tumor characteristics, surgical outcomes, and postoperative complications were extracted and analyzed.
Results: Results indicate varying functional outcomes with each approach, highlighting differences in sensory deficits, cranial nerve function preservation, and recurrence rates.
Conclusion: These findings provide valuable insights for neurosurgeons in selecting optimal surgical strategies for trigeminal schwannoma management.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
