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.
