Craniotomy: what is the success rate? (62 years old)

I’m 56 and had a retrosigmoid craniotomy at Mayo for a petroclival meningioma in June. Very similar location and hearing concerns as an acoustic neuroma. It is scary for sure, but the whole team at Mayo was excellent and I’m healing well. You are welcome to message me with any questions. All best to you!

I had about 20 staples in my head following my craniotomy to remove a craniophariginoma.
In rehab the staples were removed by a Doctor using a pair of diagonal wire cutters.
Not very pleasant but a big relief, and no issues with the plate in my skull.
