Skull Surgery for Acoustic Neuroma Removal

In this procedure, the provider removes a portion of skull bone and excises a cerebellopontine angle tumor, or acoustical neuroma. The provider uses a dual approach,  exposing the nerve through a transtemporal approach, meaning across the temporal bone, and through the middle, or posterior fossa,  to obtain a wide exposure of the skull to access the tumor while minimizing brain retraction. The goal of this procedure is to remove the tumor while maintaining existing hearing and facial function. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
