Vestibular neurectomy effectively controlled vertigo in 88% of patients with severe, intractable symptoms. This surgical option, particularly retrosigmoid vestibular nerve section, offers significant patient satisfaction and preserves hearing in most cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Vestibular Disorders

Background:

  • Vestibular neurectomy, introduced in Denmark, leverages experiences from vestibular schwannoma surgery.
  • This study reviews surgical interventions for intractable vertigo unresponsive to conventional treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of vestibular nerve section (translabyrinthine, retrolabyrinthine, retrosigmoid) for severe vertigo.
  • To assess patient satisfaction and hearing preservation following the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 43 vestibular nerve sections performed between 1980 and 1996 on 42 patients.
  • Patients had severe vertigo refractory to prior treatments; mean age 51, mean follow-up 6.4 years.

Main Results:

  • Vertigo control achieved in 88% of patients.
  • Postoperative imbalance occurred in 14 patients; 39 patients reported satisfaction.
  • Hearing preservation was high (92% in pre-operatively hearing patients); complications were minimal.

Conclusions:

  • Retrosigmoid vestibular nerve section is an effective treatment for refractory vertigo.
  • Patient education regarding efficacy and risks is crucial; centralization of treatment is recommended due to the small patient cohort and need for surgical expertise.
