“…The results are far bet ter than those obtainable with endolymphatic sac surgery and confirm those of the survey carried out by Silverstein et al [17] by means of a questionnaire to the members of the American Otologic Society.…”

“…The complication rate of vestibular neurectomy has proven to be rather low [17], In our practice, the most serious complication was a total or subtotal hearing loss which occurred in 8.2% of our patients. The rate of senso rineural hearing loss in this report is comparable to that of other studies in patients operated on through the middle cranial fossa approach.…”

Thirty-seven patients operated on by total vestibular neurectomy for Menière’s disease underwent follow-up examination for at least 5 years. Vertigo has been controlled in all the patients excepting one who developed Menière’s disease in the opposite ear. Three patients had a total hearing loss. Overall results in this study are comparable to those of other series in the literature. Vestibular neurectomy has been confirmed to be an effective procedure for relieving vertigo in intractable Menière’s disease with a success rate of 90–100% while preserving hearing in most of the patients. The results of vestibular neurectomy are far better than those obtainable with endolymphatic sac surgery.

“…The question therefore arises whether it is ethically acceptable to perform an intracranial operation with potentially dangerous consequences for an inner ear condition such as Ménière's disease that is not life threatening. Silverstein et al (18) and Fisch (19) reported delayed, temporary damage to the facial nerve in up to 7% of their patients and a CSF leakage in 12% of all cases. By contrast, in our series, only 1 patient developed a CSF fistula.…”

“…To avoid a poor result, vestibular nerve sectioning must be complete, on whatever approach: supratemporal, [4], retrolabyrinthine [5] or retrosigmoid [6]. Although neurotomy abolishes vertigo in 90% of cases [6,7], 10% of patients show residual instability despite unilateral vestibular areflexia [8,9], due to poor vestibular compensation. The present article reviewed studies of the mechanisms of vestibular compensation using various methods of analysis in MD patients who had undergone UVN.…”
