Abstract:HypothesisTo characterize transcanal endoscopic landmarks of the medial labyrinthine wall and correlate these with anatomical features of the fundus of the internal auditory canal (IAC).BackgroundThe transcanal transpromontorial approach (TTA) enables minimally invasive access to the IAC.

Furthermore, high-resoluti… Show more
