Background  Herein, we report clinical results for patients treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for vestibular schwannomas (VS) over a period of 10 years.  Methods  Clinical data and imaging follow-up were stored in a database of 1,378 patients, with 1,384 VS treated consecutively between 2005 and 2018 and analyzed retrospectively. A total of 996 patients with 1,002 tumors with at least one year of follow-up were included for analysis.  Results  Median follow-up was 3·6 years (1-12·5 years). The three, five, and 10-year Kaplan-Meier estimated local tumor control was 96·6%, 92·3%, and 90·8%, respectively. The median hearing loss of the affected ear as compared to its healthy counterpart was 17 dB at treatment start and increased to 23 and 29 dB at one and five years. Six patients (0·6%) developed symptomatic hydrocephalus and underwent the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. In 30 patients (3·0%), trigeminal sensory dysfunction developed, five patients (0·5%) had a mild transient weakness, and nine patients (0·9%) had a permanent facial weakness (House-Brackmann Grade > II) after SRS.  Conclusion  Single fraction SRS proves to be highly effective and shows low treatment-related toxicity for VS. SRS should be considered a primary treatment option for small and middle-sized VS.
