  • Title: [Vestibular neurectomy by retrolabyrinthine approach in cases of untreatable Meniere's disease].
    Author: Russo A, Taibah A, De Donato G, Aristegui M, Landolfi M, Mancini F, Sanna M.
    Journal: Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital; 1996 Apr; 16(2):99-104. PubMed ID: 8766071.
    Abstract:
    We report on a series of 35 Ménière's disease patients, all of whom had undergone retrolabyrinthine vestibular neurectomy between 1987-1993. The overall success rate of vertigo relief was 96.7% with no serious or permanent complications resulting from the procedure. The current literature is reviewed and our results are compared with those of previous reports. The technical elements of the operation, regarding our approach and those of the others are analyzed with special attention given to the anatomical features of the region and their influence on success or failure. We conclude that the retrolabyrinthine approach for nerve section remains a safe and highly successful technique which continues to be widely used.
