New surgery technique! through ear canal not opening skull
« on: September 16, 2016, 12:05:46 am »

Hi interesting news that someone had posted on Facebook -

Docs at UT Southwestern (here in Dallas) performed a successful AN removal via the ear canal, not going thru the skull:

the method was developed recently in Italy,
these guys are the first to do one in the US.

Diagnosed 4/2016 1.4cm AN.  Mild hearing loss and tinnitus.
Removed 7/2016 at Keck, Drs. Freidman and Giannotta, Retrosig approach.  Lost hearing in AN ear, but no other negative outcomes.  Will investigate bone anchored hearing devices.
