Hearing preservation and facial nerve outcomes in vestibular schwannoma surgery: total removal using the retrosigmoid approach
Background: The present study aims to report the results and the prognostic and technical factors for hearing preservation during removal of vestibular schwannoma by a retrosigmoid approach. Methods: this was a retrospective study conducting on the 286 vestibular showannomas removal surgeries using retrosigmoid approach during October 2007 to 2011.Preoperative and postoperative clinical, audiom...
متن کاملAnalysis of hearing preservation and facial nerve function for patients undergoing vestibular schwannoma surgery: the middle cranial fossa approach versus the retrosigmoid approach--personal experience and literature review.
OBJECTIVE To compare hearing preservation and facial nerve function outcomes in patients undergoing vestibular schwannoma surgery performed using either the middle cranial fossa approach (MCFA) or the retrosigmoid approach (RSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A review of the medical records of patients diagnosed with vestibular schwannoma who underwent surgical tumor removal in a single reference cen...
متن کاملSurgical Findings to Differentiate Between Facial Nerve Schwannoma and Vestibular Schwannoma
OBJECTIVES Facial nerve schwannomas may be misdiagnosed as vestibular schwannomas (VSs) if the tumor is confined to the internal auditory canal (IAC) without involvement the geniculated ganglion or labyrinthine segment of facial nerve. Because facial nerve schwannomas may be misdiagnosed as VSs, we investigated the differences between the two. METHODS The study included 187 patients with a pr...
متن کاملFacial nerve outcome after vestibular schwannoma surgery: our experience.
In this study we evaluate the postoperative facial nerve function after vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery and analyze the factors that cause it. We included 97 consecutive patients undergoing surgical excision of sporadic unilateral VS. Patient and tumor characteristics, surgical approaches, facial nerve function, extent of tumor removal, perioperative complications are all analyzed through st...
متن کاملThe extracisternal approach in vestibular schwannoma surgery and facial nerve preservation.
The classical surgical technique for the resection of vestibular schwannomas (VS) has emphasized the microsurgical anatomy of cranial nerves. We believe that the focus on preservation of the arachnoid membrane may serve as a safe guide for tumor removal. Method The extracisternal approach is described in detail. We reviewed charts from 120 patients treated with this technique between 2006 and 2...
