“…Authors who adopt the TLA emphasize the advantages of minimal cerebellar retraction and identification of the FN before its involvement with the tumor. Some authors draw attention to the necessity of extending bone removal until the posterior fossa dura, which allows retraction of the sigmoid sinus (13,14). This refinement can be considered a decisive step forward regarding the effectiveness of the ETLA.…”
Results indicate the enlarged translabyrinthine approach with transapical extension as an elective approach for removal of giant VS. The method permits achievement of a high rate of total removal with low incidence of complications.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
