Abstract
Just as the complete simple mastoidectomy provides the first building block of temporal bone surgery, the transmastoid labyrinthectomy paves the way for many oto-neurosurgical approaches to the cerebellopontine (CP) angle. This procedure must be mastered prior to attempting to expose and open the internal auditory canal (IAC).
