Abstract:
Surgical treatment involving vestibular system includes intractable vertigo surgery, inner ear surgery and vestibular tumor surgery. These operations often lead to the weakening or even loss of vestibular function, or further aggravation of the original dysfunction. If there is no standardized treatment after operation, patients are prone to recurrent vertigo, or long-term blurred vision and/or imbalance, as well as other symptoms. Through the use of medicines to promote vestibular compensation and standardized non-invasive vestibular rehabilitation training, symptoms can be eliminated as soon as possible, the duration of vestibular compensation can be shortened, stable vestibular compensation could be rapidly established, and thus the postoperative quality of life for those patients could be improved. Therefore, we should pay attention to standardize the vestibular rehabilitation after surgical treatment involving vestibular system.
