    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Intratemporal facial nerve surgery risks auditory structures, with 14% experiencing air-bone gap and 51% sensorineural hearing loss. Prevention strategies are crucial to minimize these common complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Auditory Medicine

    Background:

    • Intratemporal facial nerve surgery involves structures near the facial nerve, posing risks.
    • Understanding these risks is vital for patient safety and surgical planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review causes and prevention of injuries to structures near the facial nerve during intratemporal surgery.
    • To analyze the incidence and types of auditory complications following transmastoid facial nerve surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on causes and prevention of facial nerve injuries.
    • Analysis of 139 patients undergoing temporal bone surgery (1974-1981).
    • Auditory evaluation of 43 patients before and 6 months after transmastoid facial nerve surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Auditory complications are the most frequent: 14% developed an air-bone gap, 51% sensorineural hearing loss.
    • Other auditory issues included decreased speech discrimination (7%) and tinnitus (12%).
    • Less common injuries involved the facial nerve, chorda tympani, labyrinth, cochlea, ossicles, and vascular structures.

    Conclusions:

    • Auditory structures are most vulnerable during intratemporal facial nerve surgery.
    • Careful surgical technique and awareness of potential complications are essential for prevention.
    • Further research into minimizing auditory risks in facial nerve surgery is warranted.
