    Author: Sterkers JM, Desgeorges M, Sterkers O, Corlieu P, Viala P.
    Journal: Ann Otolaryngol Chir Cervicofac; 1986; 103(7):487-92. PubMed ID: 3492954.
    Abstract:
    During the last two decades, 602 tumors of the internal auditory canal and of the cerebello-pontine angle were operated on, using the trans-temporal approaches. Among these tumors, 548 were unilateral acoustic neuromas, that were removed by the trans-labyrinthine approach (57%), the retro-labyrinthine-retro-sigmoid approach (33%) and the middle fossa approach (M.F.) (6%). Five fatalities occurred (1%). The facial nerve was preserved in 94% with an immediate normal function in 58%. The auditory function was preserved in 23% (51 cases).
