INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: @entity5513 is the most @entity5513 . The aim of our study is to reflect our experience in the surgical treatment of this @entity5 MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study of 420 @entity5513 operated in our hospital between 1994-2014. We include @entity5 size, preoperative hearing, surgical approaches, definitive facial and hearing functional results, and complications due to surgery. RESULTS: A total of 417 @entity1 with 420 @entity5 were analyzed, 209 female (50.1%) and 208 male (49.9%). Mean age at diagnosis was 49.8  13.2 years. The majority of the @entity5 were resected through a translabyrinthine approach (80.2%). @entity5 removal was achieved in 411 @entity5 (98.3%), and anatomic preservation of facial nerve in 404 (96.2%). Definitive facial nerve outcome was House-Brackmann grade I and II in 69.9%, and was significantly better in @entity5 under 20mm. Surgical complications included @entity5173 in 3 @entity1 (0.7%) and retroauricular subcutaneous collection in 16 (3.8%), 5 cases of @entity693 (1.2%), 4 @entity1 with @entity548 (0.9%), and @entity204 in 3 @entity1 (0.7%). CONCLUSIONS: Surgery is the treatment of choice for @entity5513 in the majority of @entity1 . In our experience, the complication rate is very low and @entity5 size is the main factor influencing postoperative facial nerve function.
