About This Treatment

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.
