105 Patients operated upon for cerebellopontine angle tumors — experience using combined approach and co₂ laser.

Abstract

In Memphis, TN, we have treated surgically 105 patients with cerebellopontine angle tumors. In reporting that experience here, we place major emphasis on the use of two surgical aids: a combined surgical approach and the CO2 laser. Diagnostic techniques are also discussed, along with data management, postoperative results, and complications.
