  • Title: Surgery of the round window.
    Author: Plath P.
    Journal: Am J Otol; 1988 Mar; 9(2):142-3. PubMed ID: 3407747.
    Abstract:
    Tympanotomy is routinely performed in our institution to control the round window membrane for patients with recurrent sudden deafness, with Meniere-like attacks, and those with Meniere's disease. In a large number of these patients, especially those with vertigo, perilymph fistula has been diagnosed. Most patients are free of attacks after the fistula has been closed, and in those with a short history of illness, hearing can become normal. In the future, closure of the round window membrane should be considered an important procedure in the treatment of inner ear dysfunctions.
