Intraoperative Monitoring for Hearing Preservation and Restoration in Acoustic Neuroma Surgery (original) (raw)

This research explores intraoperative monitoring techniques employed during acoustic neuroma (AN) surgery to enhance hearing preservation and restoration outcomes. It emphasizes the relevance of surgical approaches, particularly the retrosigmoid-transmeatal (RS-TM) method, in achieving effective auditory monitoring and discusses the use of auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) for patients with non-functional cochlear nerves. The study presents patient data, outcomes related to hearing preservation, and insights into surgical decisions and techniques.
