Abstract
Since VNS [vestibular nerve section] spares auditory function, it is preferable to labyrinthectomy. VNS and the conservative operations of the inner ear have much the same effect on hearing. VNS to control vertigo may also eliminate 1 of the stress factors concerned in the perpetuation of hydrops. VNS is now the most effective method of treating vertigo. Because the elimination of vertigo is the chief concern of most patients, VNS should be used when medical treatment fails.
