Medication and Facial Nerve Rehabilitation: A Two-Year Retrospective Analysis of Microsurgical Resection Outcomes for Benign Cerebellopontine Angle Tumors in 31 Cases at Prime Teaching Hospital Peshawar

    Microsurgical excision for benign cerebellopontine angle (CP angle) tumors was done retrospectively at Prime Teaching Hospital in Peshawar for two years. With a mean age of 46.5 years, 31 Male patients were observed (68%). In post-operative treatment, the research highlights the need for customized drug regimes and thorough facial nerve rehabilitation. These approaches greatly improved patient outcomes. Nonetheless, persistent effects and variability in recovery highlight how difficult treating CP angle malignancies is. Ultimately, our study aims to improve patient well-being by highlighting the significance of individualized methods and interdisciplinary treatment in neurosurgery.This research aimed to evaluate the results of microsurgical excision for benign tumors of the cerebellopontine angle (CP angle). One of the main goals was to assess the effects of treatment plans and facial nerve rehabilitation on patient recovery. The patient demographics and follow-up period were observed to put the research in perspective.
