Surgical Management of a Cerebellopontine Angle Tumor After Sudden Onset Facial Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Patients with cerebellopontine angle tumors rarely experience acute facial weakness. In this report, we summarize a case where immediate tumor decompression after a patient presented with sudden ipsilateral flaccid facial palsy resulted in complete recovery of facial nerve function, followed by staged gross total tumor resection. Return of facial nerve

How I Do It: Middle Fossa Approach of Facial Nerve Decompression

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We present a reproducible, stepwise middle fossa approach for facial nerve decompression focused on the labyrinthine segment, geniculate ganglion, and meatal foramen, with consistent anatomical landmarks to preserve hearing. The article and video detail patient setup, safe corridor creation, and retrograde drilling with practical tips to avoid cochlear

Frailty, Surgical Time, and Surgical Complications Increase Length of Stay Following Large Vestibular Schwannoma Resection

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Patients with large vestibular schwannomas (VS) are at higher risk for adverse outcomes following microsurgical resection. This study aims to identify clinical and radiographic factors that may be predictive of adverse outcomes. Study Design Retrospective chart review. Setting Academic tertiary care center.

The Current Situation and Development of Endoscopic Ear Surgery in China

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic ear surgery has been widely performed in China since 2015 due to the development and rapid popularization of endoscopic technology. Due to the relative shortness of the auditory meatus, only a fixed endoscope is required in many cases, rather than a motion similar to a nasal endoscope, and uncontrollable bleeding is virtually non ...

The extracisternal approach in vestibular schwannoma surgery and facial nerve preservation [PDF]

, 2014
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.
