Summary

The translabyrinthine approach offers an effective surgical option for acoustic neuromas, particularly when hearing preservation is not a priority. This technique provides anterior access to the cerebellopontine angle, minimizing cerebellar retraction.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • The translabyrinthine approach has gained prominence over the last 30 years for acoustic neuroma surgery.
  • It is a viable alternative to the retrosigmoid approach, especially when hearing preservation is not a key concern.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the translabyrinthine approach for acoustic neuroma treatment.
  • To highlight its advantages and technical considerations.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical technique description focusing on the translabyrinthine corridor.
  • Comparison with the retrosigmoid approach regarding cerebellar retraction.

Main Results:

  • The translabyrinthine approach allows for the treatment of acoustic neuromas of all sizes.

  • It offers an anteriorly shifted corridor to the cerebellopontine angle.
  • This approach results in reduced cerebellar retraction compared to the retrosigmoid method.

    • Conclusions:

    • The translabyrinthine approach is a well-established surgical option for acoustic neuromas.
    • Its successful application depends on understanding and implementing specific technical nuances.
