In this context, the authors of this study analyzed these complications, with particular interest in the role of surgical approach in their occurrence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The charts of 391 patients who had undergone 413 procedures for VS during a 24-year period were reviewed retrospectively. A suboccipital retrosigmoid (RS) approach was used in 338 procedures, and the translabyrinthine (TL) route in 75. Postoperative hemorrhage or infarction was identified and stratified according to the complication type and surgical approach.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>Postoperative vascular complications were encountered in 11 procedures (2.7%), and their incidence was the same for both the RS and TL approaches. Of these complications, eight were hemorrhagic (two cerebellopontine angle, one intracerebellar, and five epidural hematomas) and three were ischemic in nature. Five patients (45.4%) had a complete recovery, and four patients (36.4%) a partial recovery; two patients (18.2%) died. The overall procedure-related mortality rate was 0.5% (two of 413 procedures): 0.3% (one of 338 procedures) for the RS approach and 1.3% (one of 75 procedures) for the TL approach (p &gt; 0.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In this study, the overall incidences of vascular complications in VS surgery were similar for the RS and TL approaches. Regardless of the preferred surgical route, this group of complications carries a significant risk of morbidity and therefore warrants special consideration in the management of VSs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2006.105.2.200","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,24]],"date-time":"2008-01-24T12:37:17Z","timestamp":1201178237000},"page":"200-204","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Vascular complications of vestibular schwannoma surgery: a comparison of the suboccipital retrosigmoid and translabyrinthine approaches"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"105","author":[{"given":"Burak","family":"Sade","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery and Department of Otolaryngology, Sir Mortimer B.
