For Meniere

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Meniere's disease vertigo can become refractory to medical treatment.
  • Surgical intervention is considered when conservative measures fail.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined retrosigmoid vestibular neurectomy (RRVN) for refractory Meniere's disease.

Main Methods:

  • Microsurgical posterior fossa vestibular neurectomy using a retrosigmoid approach.
  • Sectioning of the vestibular nerve near the brainstem if cleavage plane is not identified.
  • Preservation of hearing is a key consideration.

Main Results:

  • Complete vertigo control achieved in 85% of patients.
  • Hearing preservation at preoperative levels in 80% of patients.

  • RRVN offers advantages like minimized bone work and reduced complications.

    • Conclusions:

    • Combined RRVN is a safe and effective surgical option for Meniere's disease refractory to medical management.
    • This technique provides excellent vertigo control and hearing preservation.
    • Proper patient selection is crucial for successful outcomes.
