摘要
HypothesisAngled endoscopes have been postulated to increase visualization of the internal auditory canal (IAC); however, few studies have quantified the extent of IAC visualization using endoscopes of varying angles.BackgroundPreservation of the bony labyrinth in middle fossa (MF) vestibular schwannoma surgery may limit visualization of the lateral IAC. We sought to determine the extent to which IAC visualization is increased with endoscopes in these situations.MethodsComputed tomography (CT) scans were acquired before and after two cadaveric MF bony drill-outs. An atlas-based method was used to localize the IAC in the preprocedure CT and then registered with the postprocedure CT using standard image registration methods. Virtual microscope and endoscope positions and angles of approach were determined in a 3D rendering environment. Using ray casting techniques, the percentage of IAC surface area visible (unobscured by bony structures) with the microscope and 0 & DEG;, 30 & DEG;, and 45 & DEG; endoscopes was calculated.ResultsFor cadaver 1, the microscope led to visible IAC surface areas of 72%, whereas 0 & DEG;, 30 & DEG;, and 45 & DEG; endoscopes visualized 58%, 79%, and 84%, respectively. For cadaver 2, the microscope led to visible surface areas of 67%, whereas the same endoscopes visualized 66%, 84%, and 84%, respectively.ConclusionsUsing a microscope yields similar proportions of visible IAC surface area to a 0 & DEG; endoscope in MF bony drill-outs. Increased visualization of the IAC is possible with more angled endoscopes. Using angled endoscopes may facilitate improved tumor dissection in the lateral IAC with neural and vascular preservation in vestibular schwannoma surgery aimed at hearing preservation.
