Analysis of the effect of intraoperative neuromonitoring during resection of benign nerve sheath tumors on gross-total resection and neurological complications

Thomas J. Wilson et al.

Summary: The study found that intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) had a negative impact on achieving GTR but was not associated with postoperative neurological complications. In the subset of motor/mixed nerve tumors, IONM was a significant negative predictor of GTR and a significant positive predictor of permanent postoperative motor deficit.

Surgical Management of Sporadic Peripheral Nerve Schwannomas in Adults: Indications and Outcome in a Single Center Cohort

Julian Zipfel et al.

Summary: Peripheral nerve sheath tumors, especially sporadic schwannomas, are often associated with significant pain and neurological deficits. Surgical interventions for these tumors require interdisciplinary approaches and can result in improved functional outcomes and quality of life for patients. Complete tumor resection is achievable in the majority of cases, with a lower chance of complete resection for tumors located in the cervical neurovascular bundle. Early surgical resection is recommended for adult patients with significant growth, pain, neurological deficit, or suspected malignancy.
