“…Although the advances of intraoperative facial nerve monitoring and the refinements of microsurgical techniques have significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative facial palsy during cerebellopontine angle surgery [5,8,13], its management can be controversial.…”

“…Although the development of microsurgical techniques and monitoring have signicantly improved the chances of preserving the facial nerve anatomically and functionally [5,8,13], cerebellopontine angle surgery can still result in a postoperative facial deficit owing to unavoidable facial nerve resection because of the histologic characteristic of a lesion or the lack of functional recovery from nerve trauma at the time of surgery. Several techniques have now been proposed to repair actual facial nerve loss.…”

“…The prognostic utility of intra-operative facial nerve monitoring during neurotologjcal, neurosurgical and skull base procedures has been suggested by numerous articles in the world literature (Delgado et al, 1979;Lye et al, 1982;Moller and Jannetta, 1984;Kartush et al, 1985;Prass and Luders, 1986;Prass et al, 1987;Harner et al, 1988;Silverstein et al, 1988;Benecke et al, 1991;Kartush et al, 1991;Magliulo et al, 1994a). Adjunctive information is available on its potentially useful ability in predicting the facial nerve function at the end of acoustic tumour removal (Beck et al, 1991;Kirkpatrick et al, 1991;Berges et al, 1993;Silverstein et al, 1994).…”

“…Intra-operative facial nerve monitoring provides a significant contribution towards the preservation of post-operative facial function following cerebellopontine angle surgery (Delgado et al, 1979;Lye et al, 1982;Moller and Jannetta, 1984;Kartush et al, 1985;Prass and Luders, 1986;Benecke et al, 1987;Prass et al, 1987;Harner et al, 1988;Silverstein et al, 1988;Kartush et al, 1991;Magliulo et al, 1994a). This system is used also to predict neural integrity at the end of the operation.…”

“…During general anesthesia the patients received muscle relaxant drugs only at the time of intubation. No other paralytic agents were administered during surgery in order to avoid interference with evoked motor activity [7,8]. After tumor removal, the facial nerve was stimulated electrically at the brainstem level and at the internal auditory canal.…”
