    This study presents a new surgical method for endolymphatic sac decompression and drainage. The procedure effectively controlled vertigo in 94% of patients with unilateral disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Vestibular Disorders

    Background:

    • Endolymphatic sac surgery is a treatment for Meniere's disease.
    • Previous techniques have varying success rates and risks.
    • A refined surgical approach is needed to improve outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel surgical technique for endolymphatic sac decompression and drainage.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this method in managing vertigo and preserving cochlear function.

    Main Methods:

    • The described method involves wide dural exposure.
    • It emphasizes avoiding skeletonization of the posterior semicircular canal.
    • Drainage of the endolymphatic sac is achieved using a T-tube.

    Main Results:

    • The procedure was performed on 75 patients (46 ears).
    • Vertigo control was achieved in 94% of patients with unilateral disease.
    • Significant improvement in cochlear function was observed in over 30% of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • This surgical technique offers good results for vertigo control.
    • The method shows potential for improving cochlear function in Meniere's disease patients.
    • The described approach may be a valuable option for endolymphatic sac treatment.
