Table 4 Relation between the extent of resection and the functional preservation of the facial nerve

From: Preservation of facial nerve functions during vestibular schwannoma surgery: outcome analysis

Extent of resection	Facial nerve preservation		Total
Extent of resection	100% preservation	Less than 100% preservation	Total
Near-total	12 (60%)	8 (40%)	20
Subtotal	10 (83.3%)	2 (16.7%)	12
P	0.021^*	0.035^*	32

Less than 100% preservation means HB grading scale between II and VI
*Statistically significant difference
