Аннотация
BACKGROUND: This video highlights the standard surgical steps of retrosigmoid craniotomy and excision of a moderately sized vestibular schwannoma with facial nerve preservation, with basic technical nuances to guide young neurosurgeons.
OBJECTIVE: A systematic step-by-step approach to microsurgical dissection and removal of vestibular schwannoma that achieves gross total excision with good facial nerve preservation.
METHODS: The video starts with a note on clinical presentation of a 45-year-old male with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss and headache with MRI brain showing a 3.8 × 3.0 cm schwannoma arising from the left vestibular nerve. The surgery was performed in lateral position with neuromonitoring, using a conventional retrosigmoid craniotomy. The essential surgical steps of arachnoid opening and extra capsular dissection, identification and preservation of facial nerve, and drilling of the internal acoustic meatus (IAM) are demonstrated step by step achieving a gross total excision.
RESULTS: A systematic and meticulous approach to microsurgical excision of vestibular schwannoma is pivotal in the preservation of facial nerve and in preventing damage to surrounding neurovascular structures.
CONCLUSION: Adopting microsurgical techniques in vestibular schwannoma with intraoperative facial nerve monitoring aids in achieving good functional outcome and tumor control.
