Vestibular schwannoma surgery is a surgical procedure performed to remove a type of benign tumor known as a vestibular schwannoma. These tumors grow from the coverings of the nerve that connects the ear to the brain, and they can cause hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), balance problems, and other symptoms.
The surgical procedure for removing a vestibular schwannoma typically involves making an incision behind the ear and opening a small piece of bone to access the tumor. The neurosurgeon then carefully removes the tumor microscopically, taking care to avoid damaging the surrounding nerves and tissues. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, the surgeon may use a microscope, endoscope and/or other specialized tools to aid in the procedure.
