Information on Trans Labyrynthine Resection of Acoustic Neuroma?

Translabyrinthine Approach:
The translabyrinthine approach may be preferred by the surgical team when the patient has no useful hearing, or when an attempt to preserve hearing would be impractical. The incision for this approach is located behind the ear. It involves removing the mastoid bone and some bone in the inner ear, allowing excellent exposure of the internal auditory canal and tumor site. This approach facilitates the identification of the facial nerve in the temporal bone prior to any removal of the tumor. The surgeon, therefore, has the advantage of knowing the location of the facial nerve prior to tumor dissection and removal.
