No cerebrospinal fluid leaks in translabyrinthine vestibular schwannoma removal: reappraisal of 200 consecutive patients.

Abstract

To our knowledge, this is the first series of 200 consecutive vestibular schwannoma patients operated by means of the enlarged TLA without a single CSF leak. When the appropriate measures are taken, the number of CSF leaks after removing tumors through the enlarged TLA must and can be reduced to 0.
