Endoscopic Transcanal Transpromontorial Removal of an Intracochlear Schwannoma and Traditional Cochlear Implantation
videoVestibular schwannomas (acoustic neuromas) develop due to mutations in Schwann cells that cause uncontrolled cell division. As a result, a tumor forms. As these tumors grow, they can compress the cochlear nerve causing unilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. Vestibular schwannomas may cause imbalance and occasionally vertigo. Intralabyrinthine schwannomas account for about 10% of vestibular schwannomas in centers that specialize in temporal bone imaging. Intracochlear schwannomas are the most common type of intralabyrinthine schwannomas. In this video, we describe an endoscopic transcanal transpromontorial approach to intracochlear schwannoma removal. This surgery was performed by James Prueter, DO, of Southwest Ohio ENT Specialists in Dayton, OH. Video editing was performed by Austin Miller, OMS-II, Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Transcanal Endoscopic Infracochlear Approach for a Petrous Apex Cholesterol Granuloma
videoThis video demonstrates a transcanal endoscopic infracochlear approach to the petrous apex in a patient with a large cholesterol granuloma. The patient presented with a history of profound left sensorineural hearing loss, hemifacial spasm, and House Brackmann Grade 2 facial function. Preoperative imaging demonstrated a T1 and T2 hyperintense heterogenous lesion in both petrous apices with the left being larger than the right on magentic resonance imaging. A computed tomography scan (CT) of the temporal bones demonstrates extension of the left petrous apex lesion into the internal auditory canal and cochlea. Dr. Isaacson has had 2 patients who have had significant recovery of their bone line after using an infracochlear approach. In the unlikely event that the patient experiences hearing loss in the other ear, their cochlea is preserved for a possible CI. However, the patients hearing loss is likely secondary to the 8th nerve involvement of cholesterol granuloma erosion into IAC. The patient in this surgical video has been monitored for a year. One year postop CT shows aeration of the apex. This patient's facial spasm has resolved. Dr. Isaacson has used stents in the past, but in this case felt the opening was large enough that he could forego it. Patient did not recover their hearing. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17797/1wq11j68wa
Robotic Sigmoid Resection and Intracorporeal Anastomosis
videoThis is a 60 yo woman with diverticulitis not responsive to medical management. Open, laparoscopic, and robotic operative options were discussed. We agreed on robotic sigmoid resection in the Enhanced Recovery Pathway. This video demonstrates an intracorporeal colorectal anastomosis between the descending colon and upper rectum. Sigmoid colectomies are typically characterized by by specimen extraction through an open incision after minimally invasive mobilization of the colon and mesentery, placement of an anvil into the descending colon through this open incision, and then laparoscopic or robotic colorectal anastomosis with a circular stapler after re-establishing pneumoperitoneum. This intracorporeal anastomosis does not require stretching colon and mesentery to an open extraction site with the possible need for extending the open incision. There is less visceral manipulation and potentially less ileus and quicker return to gastrointestinal activity. The extraction site can be anywhere the surgeon chooses and the extraction incision size is limited only by the sixe of the pathology.

Excision of Thyroglossal Duct Cyst (Sistrunk Procedure)
videoThis video demonstrates an excision of a thyroglossal duct cyst with special focus on 1) using the thyrohyoid membrane as a landmark and 2) dissection of the posterior hyoid space, which is the space between the thyrohyoid membrane and the posterior surface of the hyoid bone.

Superficial Parotidectomy for a First Branchial Cleft Cyst
videoThis video demonstrates a superficial parotidectomy approach for the excision of a first branchial cleft cyst in a pediatric patient. This particular patient was a 4-year-old girl who presented with intermittent swelling in the region of the left parotid. On MRI, she was found to have a lobular mass consistent with a first branchial cleft cyst. Here we outline the steps of the recommended surgical procedure.
