| Abstract | Preservation of hearing is a major goal of surgery for patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS). We performed an analysis of the published literature on hearing outcome after microsurgery for VS. Our objective was to provide a comprehensive and unbiased description of published results. We completed a comprehensive search of the English language literature, most recently in October 2009, and identified a total of 62 studies publishing disaggregated hearing outcome data of patients undergoing microsurgical resection of VS. Inclusion criteria for articles were: (i) hearing preservation rates were reported specifically for VS; (ii) hearing status was reported using the American Association of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) or Gardner-Robertson (GR) classification; and (iii) initial tumor size was documented. We performed a multivariate step-wise logistic regression based on the results of univariate analysis, to determine factors which significantly impacted rates of hearing preservation in these patients. Of these, 49 articles involving 998 patients presented disaggregated data regarding the outcomes of individual patients, and were included in our analysis, with an over-all hearing preservation rate of 52%. In total, 286 patients underwent surgery by the middle cranial fossa (MCF) approach, and 702 patients underwent surgery via the retrosigmoid (RS) approach. The follow-up in these series ranged from 6months to 7years. Rates of hearing preservation in general declined with increasing age and tumor size. Patients undergoing surgery via the MCF had better hearing outcomes on univariate analysis than those undergoing the RS approach (63% vs. 47%, p<0.0001). Multivariate analysis found that tumor size >1.5cm (odds ratio [OR] 2.81, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.59-4.95, p<0.001), and the RS approach (OR 4.15, 95% CI=1.97-8.77, p<0.001) were independent significant risk factors for loss of serviceable hearing during VS surgery. Use of the MCF demonstrates superior hearing outcomes to the RS approach, even after correcting for the effect of the increased size of tumors addressed by the RS approach. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
