    Summary

    Vestibular neurectomy surgery for Meniere's disease preserved hearing in 51% of patients and improved it in 32%. This procedure addresses peripheral vertigo while potentially benefiting auditory function.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear.
    • Histopathological concepts of Meniere's disease are reviewed.
    • Surgical interventions for peripheral vertigo are discussed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the hearing outcomes of vestibular neurectomy for Meniere's disease.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of selective vestibular neurectomy via suboccipital and middle fossa approaches.
    • To analyze the impact of neurectomy on auditory function in Meniere's disease patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of histopathological concepts of Meniere's disease.
    • Analysis of hearing results from selective vestibular neurectomy.
    • Personal experience with 247 neurectomies for peripheral vertigo.
    • Follow-up of auditory function in 78 Meniere's disease cases over 2-6.5 years post-surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Hearing thresholds were preserved in 51% of Meniere's disease patients.
    • Auditory function improved in 32% of cases post-vestibular neurectomy.
    • Hearing deteriorated in 17% of patients following the procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • Vestibular neurectomy can favorably influence hearing in Meniere's disease.
    • The neurovegetative theory is considered as a possible mechanism for hearing improvement.
    • Selective vestibular neurectomy is a viable treatment for peripheral vertigo with potential auditory benefits.
