The objective of this study was to determine the predictive value of intraoperative threshold stimulus and postoperative facial nerve outcome in acoustic neuroma surgery. This is a retrospective case review of 116 consecutive procedures to remove acoustic neuromas using either a retrosigmoid or tran...
