Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Ménière's disease management has evolved significantly over 90 years.
  • Surgical interventions for Ménière's disease have seen periods of both condemnation and acceptance.
  • Advancements in surgical technology have revitalized specific procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the evolution and current standing of vestibular nerve section for Ménière's disease.
  • To present the combined retrolabyrinthine-retrosigmoid vestibular nerve section as a refined surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical surgical techniques for Ménière's disease.
  • Description of advancements in surgical instrumentation, optics, illumination, and neuromonitoring.
  • Focus on the posterior fossa vestibular nerve section and its evolution.

Main Results:

  • Vestibular nerve section, once controversial, is now a preferred treatment for Ménière's disease in select patients.
  • The combined retrolabyrinthine-retrosigmoid approach represents an advanced form of vestibular nerve section.

Conclusions:

  • The posterior fossa vestibular nerve section has evolved into a highly effective treatment for Ménière's disease.
  • The combined retrolabyrinthine-retrosigmoid vestibular nerve section is the preferred surgical option for carefully selected patients with serviceable hearing.
