The translabyrinthine approach was described by Panse in 1904 and firstly used to resect a cerebellopontine angle tumor by Quix in 1912, it was not until House [6] reported on 47 resections with no deaths in 1964 that the approach was truly popularized.
Since that time it has been well described in the literature as a useful approach for resecting vestibular schwannomas (VS) in cases in which hearing preservation is not a concern [8].
