The translabyrinthine approach was developed by William F. House, M.D., [2] who began doing dissections in the laboratory with the aid of magnification and subsequently developed the first middle cranial fossa and then the translabyrinthine approach for the removal of acoustic neuroma.
The most reliable indicator for acoustic neuromas from the ABR is the interaural latency differences in wave V: the latency in the impaired ear is prolonged. Different studies have indicated the sensitivity of ABR for detection of acoustic neuromas 1cm or larger to be between 90 and 95%. Sensitivity for neuromas smaller than 1cm are 63-77%.
A vestibular schwannoma (VS), also called acoustic neuroma, is a benign tumor that develops on the vestibulocochlear nerve that passes from the inner ear to the brain. The tumor originates when Schwann cells that form the insulating myelin sheath on the nerve malfunction. Normally, Schwann cells function beneficially to protect the nerves which ...
NF2 is a genetic disorder that is characterised by the development of non-cancerous tumours along the nervous system. These vestibular schwannomas (also known as acoustic neuromas) often form on the auditory nerve, and surgical removal of these NF2 tumours can damage the auditory nerve and limiting the patient's ability to hear.

House Institute Foundation's historical advancements in hearing sciences include the development of the first clinically useful cochlear implant [4] and auditory brainstem implant [5] as well as the introduction of the first the middle cranial fossa and then the translabyrinthine approach for removal of acoustic neuromas. The translabyrinthine ...
Bladder surgery. Some types of bladder surgery, like transurethral bladder neck incisions, may contribute to retrograde discharge if the bladder neck muscle is damaged. Cancer surgery.
Mercury retrograde is the go-to astrological culprit for anything that can possibly go wrong from breakups to fights with a loved one or oversleeping and missing an important meeting.
His main areas of expertise are skull base surgery and neurooncology. He specializes in the surgery of gliomas , minimally invasive endoscopy-assisted microvascular decompression in trigeminal neuralgia (facial pain) and facial hemispasm (involuntary facial twitching) as well as the surgery of acoustic neuromas (tumors of the vestibular nerves ...
