    Schwannomas and neurofibromas are benign tumors of the peripheral nerve sheath, often found in the retroperitoneal and pelvic regions.

  • 2

    Complete surgical excision is the gold standard treatment for schwannomas, with local recurrence being uncommon after successful resection.

  • 3

    Intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring was utilized in this study to enhance the safety and outcomes of tumor resections.

  • 4

    A multidisciplinary approach is often required for the surgical resection of pelvic and retroperitoneal schwannomas due to their proximity to major vessels and nerves.

  • 5

    Preoperative imaging and histopathological analysis are crucial for accurate diagnosis and individualized surgical planning for schwannomas.
