Audiometric results following endolymphatic sac surgery.

M Coppel, S Ciani

    Journal of the American Auditory Society
    |March 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Endolymphatic sac surgery can help Meniere's disease patients by relieving vertigo and maintaining hearing. Most patients experienced stable or improved hearing, with long-term follow-up essential for accurate assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear.
    • Characterized by vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss.
    • Endolymphatic sac surgery is a potential treatment.

    Observation:

    • 16 patients with Meniere's disease underwent endolymphatic sac surgery.
    • Audiometric follow-up was conducted for up to three years.
    • Pre- and postoperative symptoms and hearing were documented.

    Findings:

    • The majority of patients maintained or improved hearing.
    • A minority experienced poorer hearing for pure tones (26.3%) and speech (15.8%).
    • Hearing fluctuations in Meniere's disease necessitate long-term monitoring.

    Implications:

    • Endolymphatic sac surgery appears to be a viable option for Meniere's disease.
    • Long-term audiometric monitoring (≥3 years) is crucial for evaluating surgical outcomes.
    • Further research may refine surgical techniques and patient selection.
