Does drill-induced noise have an impact on sensorineural hearing during craniotomy procedure?
We conclude that drill-generated noise during craniotomy has been incriminated as a cause of SNHL. Possible noise disturbance to the inner ear can only be avoided by minimizing the number of burr holes and the duration of harmful noise exposure to the cochlear structures.
Percutaneous curettage is a safe and minimally invasive alternative for extremity ABCs that can be performed as an outpatient procedure. Not all ABCs require wide exposure and an open intralesional excision.
