Abstract
We report our experience (1987-1993) with Meniere's disease patients treated with a retrolabyrinthine vestibular neurectomy. The current literature was reviewed and our results have been compared with those of previous reports. The overall success rate for vertigo relief was 96.7%, with no serious or permanent complications resulting from the procedure. The technical elements of the operation, as they apply to our approach and those of others, have been 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 vestibular nerve section remains a safe and highly successful technique which merits continued use.
