Hearing outcomes of two cases of growing sporadic vestibular schwannoma, resected via a translabyrinthine approach with simultaneous cochlear implantation are reported. After gross total resection and anatomical preservation of the facial and cochlear nerve, the integrity of the cochlear nerve—on an electrophysiological level—was evaluated using the intracochlear test electrode of the Auditory Nerve Test System. After confirming electrically-evoked auditory brainstem recordings, cochlear implantation and hearing rehabilitation were performed as per the single-sided deafness protocol. This report describes the audiological outcome with respect to speech understanding in quiet and noise, localization of sounds as well as phoneme discrimination up to one year after surgery.

Objective: This prospective study aimed to evaluate the benefit of barbed reposition pharyngoplasty in the management of patients presenting with isolated unilevel palatal snoring, regardless of the presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: Barbed reposition pharyngoplasty was performed in 16 patients with confirmed unilevel palatal snoring observed during drug-induced sleep endoscopy. Patient-reported snoring questionnaires were taken before surgery and at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 6 months after surgery. Additionally, postoperative data, including pain scores, duration of hospitalization, and complication types and rates, were reported. Results: The mean snoring intensity dropped significantly from 8.1 ± 2.0 preoperatively to 3.5 ± 2.1 after 6 months ( P < .001). The mean preoperative and postoperative snoring severity were 7.0 ± 1.5 and 3.1 ± 1.7, respectively ( P < .001). The mean snoring score decreased from 8.5 ± 1.5 to 3.6 ± 2.0 ( P < .001). The Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores decreased from 6.7 ± 4.2 to 4.9 ± 5.0, but this reduction did not reach significance ( P = .087). Mean pain scores reached a peak at 6.4 ± 1.8 on day 4. The average hospitalization period was 1.06 ± 0.25. Thread extrusion occurred in 5 patients (31.3%) with no clear effect on the outcome measures. Conclusion: Barbed reposition pharyngoplasty is an effective surgical treatment option for patients with unilevel palatal snoring, and indications for palatal surgery should not be limited to OSA. Future studies assessing objective outcome measures and longer follow-up periods are needed to validate our findings.
