Hearing preservation VS tumorSIZE

(1/3) > >>

ixta:
I would like you to list the size of your AN -preop, surgical approach,
 and amount of hearing preservation before and after operation.


Me-

1.  5cm left AN from IAC to cerebellum/brainstem

2.  Endoscopic (dime size through mastoid)

3.  High tones disappeared 2 mos pre op. Heard low tones.

4.  NO, NADA ZILCH- Hearing (was to be expected of course-had to take the vestibcochlear nerve out with the tumor)

Jeanlea:
1. 3.5 cm plus (not sure exactly how much, but it was bigger than anticipated)

2.  Translab approach

3.  12% hearing loss before surgery

4.  No hearing at all (but hoping to get a TransEar soon)

Battyp:
I lost my hearing before my diagnosis :O(

Jeff:
1. Tumor size - 2.5 cm + 5 cm cyst. It was big
2. Retrosigmoid approach
3. Perfect hearing before,
4. Very little hearing after. This residual hearing was wiped out by subsequent translab revision. However, I could tell the difference between very little hearing post retrosigmoid and no hearing after translab

Boppie:
Tumor 2cm X 1.5 X 1
Translab approach
Over a period of several years lost 65% of hearing, otherwise few symptoms except URI's
After surgery deaf in that ear
Use a TransEar for satisfactory summation and near normal auditory "balance"
