Retrospective study identifies predictors of nerve function in patients undergoing surgery for vestibular schwannoma, implying improved surgical outcomes.
• Nomogram predicts facial nerve function after vestibular schwannoma surgery. • Tumor laterality is a novel independent predictor of facial nerve outcomes. • FFC and CSFC signs independently predict postoperative facial nerve function. • Tumor diameter and brainstem compression predict hearing outcomes. • The model shows good discrimination (AUC 0.834–0.880) and calibration.
