Comparison of Two Surgical Approaches and Outcomes for Petroclival Meningiomas: A Single-Surgeon Series of Consecutive Cases.

The article "Comparison of Two Surgical Approaches and Outcomes for Petroclival Meningiomas: A Single-Surgeon Series of Consecutive Cases" published in the Journal of Neurological Surgery. Part B. Skull Base compares outcomes between the retrolabyrinthine posterior petrosectomy and retrosigmoid approaches for treating petroclival meningiomas. The study included 47 patients with no significant differences in tumor size or preoperative volume between the two groups. The retrosigmoid approach showed shorter operative times and hospital stays compared to posterior petrosectomy, with comparable rates of progression-free survival. [Extracted from the article]
