Summary
We report our experiences in 110 cases of microsurgical removal of acoustic neurinomas. The historic development, the chances of preservation of the facial nerve and hearing function and the mortality risks are described in detail, hereby stressing the advantages of the lateral suboccipital approach in microneurosurgery.
Zusammenfassung
Wir berichten über über Erfahrungen anhand 110 mikrochirurgischer Entfernungen von Akustikusneurinomen. Die historische Entwicklung und die Chancen hinsichtlich Mortalität, Gesichtsnervenfunktion und Hörfunktionserhaltung werden herausgestellt, dabei werden die Vorteile des mikroneurochirurgischen lateralen suboccipitalen Zugangsweges betont.
