The patients had Koos Grade I or II tumors and American Academy of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) Class D hearing status preoperatively. Gross-total resection was achieved in all patients. No major complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage or hemorrhage were reported. In 7 of 10 (70%) patients, facial nerve function was normal immediately after surgery (Rough Grading System [RGS] Grade I). Two patients presented with a transitory facial palsy immediately after surgery (RGS Grade II\u2013III) but experienced complete recovery during the follow-up period. The mean follow-up was 10 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The EETTA proved to be successful for the removal of VS or meningioma involving the cochlea, fundus, and IAC, with possible lower complication rates and less invasive procedures than those for traditional microscopic approaches. The potential for the extensive and routine use of this approach in lateral and posterior skull base surgery will depend on the development of technology and surgical refinements and on the diffusion of skull base endoscopic skills among the otolaryngological and neurosurgical communities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2015.11.jns15952","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,11]],"date-time":"2016-03-11T09:59:32Z","timestamp":1457690372000},"page":"98-105","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":62,"title":["Exclusive endoscopic transcanal transpromontorial approach: a new perspective for internal auditory canal vestibular schwannoma treatment"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"126","author":[{"given":"Daniele","family":"Marchioni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matteo","family":"Alicandri-Ciufelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital of Modena, Modena; and"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, New Civil Hospital Sant'Agostino\u2013Estense, Baggiovara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessia","family":"Rubini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Babara","family":"Masotto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurosurgery, University Hospital of Verona, Verona;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giacomo","family":"Pavesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, New Civil Hospital Sant'Agostino\u2013Estense, Baggiovara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Livio","family":"Presutti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital of Modena, Modena; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-jns15952","series-title":"J Craniomaxillofac Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e175","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcms.2012.11.047","article-title":"A step backward: the \u2018Rough\u2019 facial nerve grading system","volume":"41","author":"Alicandri-Ciufelli M,","year":"2013","unstructured":"Alicandri-Ciufelli M, Piccinini A, Grammatica A, Salafia F, Ciancimino C, Cunsolo E, : A step backward: the \u2018Rough\u2019 facial nerve grading system.
