A retrospective study was made of all operations for acoustic tumour over a 40-year period. A total of 392 cases are reported. Trends over time and with the size of the tumour are reported. In the current decade all but two tumours were completely resected, the mortality rate was 1.4%, 94% of patients had a good or excellent result, the facial nerve was preserved in 64% of cases (90% of these with acceptable function) and the cochlear nerve in 13.5% (some with hearing). There is a striking dependence on the size of the tumour of the likely outcome of operation.
对40年间所有听神经瘤手术进行了一项回顾性研究。共报告了392例病例。报告了随时间以及肿瘤大小的变化趋势。在当前十年中，除两例外所有肿瘤均被完全切除，死亡率为1.4%，94%的患者结果良好或极佳，64%的病例保留了面神经（其中90%功能可接受），13.5%的病例保留了蜗神经（部分保留听力）。手术可能的结果对肿瘤大小有显著依赖性。
