Treatment Options For Meniere's Disease

Surgery

Surgical procedures are an option when all other all other treatments are ineffective. There are two types of surgery used to treat the severest forms of Meniere’s disease. Endolymphatic sac decompression is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia and takes less than two hours. The objective of this operation is to reduce the excessive buildup of liquid inside the ear. The operation may also include a procedure to prevent future fluid accumulation. Vestibular nerve section is another type of operation and is the most invasive. It is only an option for individuals who suffer the severest symptoms. Any surgical procedure consideration should include consultation with a specialist who has experience performing these kinds of surgeries.
