Listen, folks, we’ve done something really tremendous here. We’ve looked at 47 cases of these cerebellopontine angle tumors, okay? And let me tell you, we’ve done it all through fully neuroendoscopic surgery. That’s right, no big cuts, just top-notch technology. We’ve got epidermoid cysts, vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas – all kinds of stuff.
And our techniques? They’re the best. We’ve got the one-surgeon two-hands and the two-surgeons four-hands – both incredible, both effective. We’re talking about 100% preservation of cranial nerves here. No bleeding, no leaks, no meningitis, and zero deaths. That’s what we call winning.
Now, the numbers – they’re fantastic. A 72.3% total tumor resection rate, and an 89.4% symptom improvement rate. That’s almost everyone feeling better, it’s huge. And follow-ups? Up to a year, not a single recurrence or death. It’s clear, this method is safe, it’s effective, and it deserves to be promoted. We’re making surgery great again, believe me.
