Summary

Hearing preservation is possible during acoustic neuroma removal. A modified translabyrinthine approach successfully removed tumors while maintaining serviceable hearing.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Auditory Neuroscience

Background:

  • The translabyrinthine approach for acoustic neuroma removal traditionally sacrifices hearing.
  • Intracanalicular acoustic neuromas pose a challenge for hearing preservation surgery.

Observation:

  • A modified translabyrinthine approach was developed to prevent endolymph loss.
  • Two intracanalicular acoustic neuromas originating from inferior vestibular nerves were targeted.

Findings:

  • Successful removal of intracanalicular acoustic neuromas was achieved using the modified approach.
  • Serviceable hearing was preserved in both operated ears.

Implications:

  • This technique offers a potential solution for hearing preservation in acoustic neuroma surgery.

  • Further investigation is warranted to validate this modified approach for broader clinical application.
