    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Vestibular neurectomy is a surgical procedure targeting the vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII nerve).
    • The middle fossa approach and translabyrinthine section are surgical techniques for accessing the VIII nerve.
    • These techniques are employed for conditions affecting the inner ear and cranial nerves.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the techniques for vestibular neurectomy using the middle fossa approach.
    • To evaluate the application of these techniques in managing Meniere's disease and facial paralysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of the standard middle fossa approach for vestibular neurectomy.
    • Description of the total translabyrinthine section for VIII nerve section.
    • Application of these approaches in a series of patients with Meniere's disease and facial paralysis.

    Main Results:

    • The middle fossa approach was used in 49 cases, primarily for Meniere's disease.
    • A similar approach was used for nerve decompression in 19 cases of facial paralysis (Bell's palsy, cholesteatoma, Schwannoma).
    • Vestibular neurectomy provided good results in alleviating vertigo for unilateral Meniere's disease with hearing loss.

    Conclusions:

    • The middle fossa approach is a viable technique for vestibular neurectomy.
    • Vestibular neurectomy is effective in managing vertigo associated with Meniere's disease.
    • The described surgical techniques are applicable to various neurotological conditions.
