The authors report their experiences after operating on 279 patients with unilateral acoustic neuromas between 1976 and 1988, with 258 cases managed by the translabyrinthine approach and 21 cases by the middle fossa approach. The authors emphasize the necessity for total removal in order to avoid recurrences.
