Forty-seven acoustic neurinoma tumours have been operated on in 46 patients in the years 1987-1989. This is a considerable increase over the prevalence in the preceding ten years. Twenty-six were classified as large tumours, 18 as medium and one was small. Surgical excision was complete in 16 and incomplete in 31 cases. Two patients died in the early postoperative period. Facial nerve function was preserved in 36 (80%) of cases; of these 27 (60%) had good function and nine (20%) fair function. Useful hearing was prevented in only two patients. The overall complication rate has been low and often of a transitory nature.
1987年至1989年期间，对46例患者的47个听神经瘤进行了手术。这比前十年的患病率有了显著增加。其中26个被归类为大肿瘤，18个为中等大小，1个为小肿瘤。手术切除完全的有16例，不完全的有31例。两名患者在术后早期死亡。36例（80%）患者的面神经功能得以保留；其中27例（60%）功能良好，9例（20%）功能尚可。仅2例患者的有用听力未得到保留。总体并发症发生率较低，且多为暂时性的。
