Abstract
It is our hypothesis that the primary goal of endolymphatic sac surgery in cases of intractable Menière's disease or syndrome is for the purpose of enhancing absorption of endolymph. Our experience includes 251 cases over a period of 15 years. In this report we discuss rationale, current methods, and results in a series of 176 cases since 1974.Keywords
