Forty-six consecutive video-recorded translabyrinthine operations at Gentofte Hospital, for tumors of 5 to 25 mm, were investigated for possible damage to the facial nerve from cauterization, suction, stretching, pushing, and other instrumental trauma at the following regions: fundus, internal meatus, porus, cerebellopontine angle, and brain stem. House-Brackmann grading of the postoperative facial nerve function was determined from the patient records for the 1st, 3rd, and 10th days and 3 months and 6 months postoperatively, as well as the final status.

The relationship between temporal bone pneumatization and the location of the lateral sinus and length of the mastoid process was investigated in 60 fresh frozen adult temporal bones, by plain X-rays, computed tomography and surgical dissection including otomicroscopic findings. Temporal bone pneumatization was classified as small, moderate and large. After drilling, the shortest distances between the middle fossa dura and mastoid tip representing the mastoid length and between the sigmoid sinus and posterior border of external auditory canal were measured and compared to the degree of pneumatization.
