Objective: To evaluate the behavior of residual tumors and facial nerve outcomes after incomplete excision of vestibular schwannomas (VS).Methodology: The case records of all patients who underwent surgical treatment of VS were analyzed.All patients in whom an incomplete excision was performed were analyzed.Incomplete excision was defined as: Near Total Resection (NTR),Subtotal Resection (STR) and Partial Resection (PR).Tumors in the NTR and STR category were followed up with a wait and-rescan approach, whereas the tumors in the PR category were subjected to a second stage surgery and were excluded in this series.All patients included in the study had a baseline magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study at the 3rd and 6th postoperative month and repeat imaging was subsequently done every year for 7-10 years postoperatively or as indicated clinically.Preoperative and postoperative FN function was noted.
