Complete tumor removal, as ascertained using computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, was achieved in 110 patients (91.7%). The facial nerve was anatomically preserved in 97 patients (80.8%). The main postoperative complications were cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage through the scalp wound (13.3%) requiring surgical revision in 2.5%, meningitis (9.2%), CSF rhinorrhea (6.7%) requiring surgical revision in 2.5%, and epileptic seizures (the only permanent complication) requiring medication (3.3%). There was no death directly related to the surgery. Long-term follow-up examination of the facial nerve revealed recovery of function to the level of House\u2014Brackmann Grade I or II in 56.2% of the patients.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> The results and complications presented in this series are comparable to those reported in the literature.
