to make the quarterly livelier and more beneficial for doctors and scientists !!!

On June the 1st, 2021 VSJ launches a new discussion platform in the journal.

We invite all MIS surgeons to rapidly submit for publication:
- small forms describing unusual clinical situations related to their practice,
- short clinical comments relating to any publications in VSJ, including the clinical situations described above
- brief communications of original studies deserving fast publication
- your personal opinions as part of a larger discussion on the VSJ publication
- letters concerning the topics described above

Clinical Forum gives you a means of rapid presentation of your findings in the medical databases, scientific citations on the international forum, and also an Impact Factor!

PlumX metrics:

Intracanalicular vestibular schwannomas (IVS) account for 8% of all vestibular schwannomas and their detection is still increasing due to high availability of magnetic resonance (MRI). Radiosurgery is one of several commonly acceptable methods of IVS treatment, but some risk may still exist with that treatment. The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical outcomes in tumor control and hearing preservation after radiosurgery of IVS. The retrospective analysis included 14 scientific papers available in the PubMed database. Assessment of tumor volume was performed based on gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted scans. Hearing preservation was assessed using the Gardner-Robertson classification (GR class). Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27. It was revealed that tumor growth control in IVS treated with radiosurgery was higher than in the wait-and-see strategy. The hearing preservation was similar in patients after wait and see and the surgical group. Radiosurgery was associated with low risk of facial nerve dysfunction.
