Selective cochlear neurectomy offers a promising surgical option for severe tinnitus, preserving vestibular function. This technique shows success in controlling tinnitus while avoiding common surgical side effects like vertigo.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Auditory Neuroscience

Background:

  • Eighth nerve sectioning is a surgical approach for intractable tinnitus, yielding variable success rates (45%-76%).
  • Candidates include patients with unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss and disabling tinnitus in the affected ear.

Observation:

  • A selective cochlear neurectomy technique preserving the vestibular nerve is presented.
  • Two case studies illustrate the surgical indications, technique, and outcomes.

Findings:

  • Selective cochlear neurectomy successfully controlled debilitating tinnitus in both presented cases.
  • Preservation of vestibular nerve fibers prevented postoperative vertigo and disequilibrium.

Implications:

  • This approach may reduce hospital stays and the need for vestibular compensation, especially in elderly patients.
  • Further controlled studies are required to validate the efficacy and benefits of selective cochlear neurectomy for tinnitus management.
