Full Endoscopic Resection of Intralabyrinthine Schwannomas: A Case Series.

To investigate the technique and efficacy of fully endoscope resection of intralabyrinthine schwannomas (ILS) by transcanal transpromontorial endoscopic approach (TTEA). Retrospective case review. Hospital. All patients who were affected by ILS, without extension to the internal auditory canal and underwent surgery with TTEA in our hospital in 2020. Therapeutic. Recovery status, postoperative complications and remaining symptoms after surgery. Three patients were included, all of which underwent gross total resections. The follow-up period was from 10 months to 2 years. No intraoperative and postoperative major complications were observed. There was no facial paralysis or cerebrospinal fluid leakage postoperatively. The hospitalization time of TTEA was 5 days. Three patients' vertigo was relieved after 1 week without receiving vestibular therapy. Only 1 patient complained of transient episodes of vertigo when climbing or holding heavy objects. TTEA has the advantages of clear vision to identify the anatomical structure, enabling complete tumor resection, reduced operation time, and faster postoperative recovery. IV.
