Use of intraoperative ultrasonography to monitor surgery for large acoustic neuromas: a pilot study

Abstract

IOUS can be used to monitor surgery in real time as a technique to assist microsurgical procedures for large acoustic neuromas with trouble.

Large Vestibular Schwannoma Resection Through the Suboccipital Retrosigmoid Keyhole Approach

“…Larger VSs, larger than 3 to 4 cm in the greatest extracanalicular diameter, carry their own unique risks for resection. 1 Surgical removal of large VSs has been associated with higher complication rates, poor facial nerve function, and high tumor recurrence rate. 2 To resolve these problems, neurosurgeons and neurootologists have to innovate different surgical approaches and methods.…”
