    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Vestibular System Disorders

    Background:

    • Vertigo is a debilitating condition often requiring surgical intervention.
    • The transmastoid approach is a surgical technique used in otologic procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of labyrinthectomy via a transmastoid approach for vertigo treatment.
    • To assess the safety and directness of the transmastoid approach for vestibular ablation.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical labyrinthectomy performed using a transmastoid approach.
    • Direct visualization of vestibular neuroepithelium during surgery.
    • Identification and preservation of the facial nerve.

    Main Results:

    • Vertigo was successfully controlled in 37 out of 38 patients (97%).
    • The transmastoid approach allowed for direct visualization and positive identification of the facial nerve.

    Conclusions:

    • Labyrinthectomy via the transmastoid approach is a highly effective surgical treatment for vertigo.
    • This technique offers direct access to the vestibular system and ensures facial nerve safety.
