Overview

Randomized trial compares outcomes of endolymphatic sac decompression versus labyrinthectomy in Meniere disease, suggesting effective interventions for vertigo and hearing loss.

Key Points

  • This study aims to compare outcomes between simultaneous endolymphatic sac decompression/ci and labyrinthectomy/ci in patients with Meniere disease.
  • Retrospective review of patients from 2 tertiary care centers
  • Included patients with ≥2 vertigo attacks/week and severe-profound hearing loss
  • Surgical and audiometric outcomes analyzed across cohorts
  • 71.4% of ESD/CI patients experienced reduced vertigo attacks
  • 6/7 ears in the ESD/CI cohort improved speech recognition by 85.6% in quiet conditions, P < 0.05
  • 7/9 patients in the labyrinthectomy/CI cohort improved AzBio-Q sentence scores by 57.6%, P < 0.05
