Abstract

We evaluated endolymphatic-sac surgery efficacy in 9 subjects for 9 to 30 years (average; 23 years). Due to difficulty in evaluating such surgery, only the 1985 AAO-HNS guideline, which covers 24 months, was used. Endolymphatic-sac surgery was conducted from 1980 to 1990 in 142 subjects with intractable Meniere’s disease, some of whom were treated from 1990 at our clinic.<br> Results showed that definitive spells were “fairly relieved” in 55%, “relieved” in 45%, but worse in no subjects. Hearing was “improved or unchanged” in 67% but remained “worse” in 33%.<br>
