| Abstract: |
The article explores the impact of endoscopic transpterygoid eustachian tube management on long-term hearing outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for petroclival region malignancies. The study compares patients who had open resection with those who underwent endoscopic approaches, finding no significant difference in new or persistent hearing loss rates between the two groups. However, the endoscopic group experienced earlier hearing morbidity, more mastoid effusion, and unilateral hearing loss, despite achieving higher rates of gross total resection. The study suggests that further investigation may be needed to determine the optimal eustachian tube management strategy for these patients. [Extracted from the article] |
