Abstract
Experience based on 14 cases of severe-to-total sensorineural deafness, treated with endolymphatic sac revascularization, operation, is presented. Changes seen in the endolymphatic sacs and lateral sinuses of these patients have been detailed. Irrespective of the degree and duration of deafness, significant hearing gain (with good improvement in speech discrimination) was obtained in nine out of 14 cases (64.28 per cent). There was no improvement at all in one out of 14 (7.14 per cent), and there was a relapse of the hearing-loss two months post-operatively in one case (7.14 per cent). Tinnitus disappeared in the operated ear in three out of five cases (60 per cent) and vertigo improved considerably in four out of six cases (66.66 per cent). The follow-up in this series has been up to two years.
