What the procedure involves.
Microsurgical removal of vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma) from the cerebellopontine angle. China's leading neurotology centers perform this complex surgery using translabyrinthine, retrosigmoid, or middle fossa approaches with intraoperative facial nerve monitoring. Advanced electrophysiological monitoring ensures maximal preservation of facial nerve function and hearing when possible.
Step by step.
Advanced Imaging
High-resolution MRI with contrast to determine tumor size, location, and relationship to facial nerve and brainstem
Surgical Approach Selection
Multidisciplinary team determines optimal approach based on tumor size, hearing status, and patient goals
Microsurgical Removal
Precision tumor excision under operating microscope with continuous facial nerve and brainstem monitoring
Post-operative Recovery
ICU monitoring, facial nerve assessment, balance rehabilitation, and long-term MRI surveillance
- Complete tumor removal preventing brainstem compression
- Facial nerve preservation in majority of cases
- Eliminates risk of further tumor growth
- Advanced monitoring technology improves outcomes
- Hearing loss on affected side (common with large tumors)
- Temporary or permanent facial weakness
- CSF leak requiring additional treatment
- Balance disturbance during recovery period
