Purpose: To evaluate objective vestibular function after endolymphatic sac surgery (ELSS) for Menière's disease (MD), using comparative vestibular function tests: videonystagmography (VNG), vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) and video head-impulse test (VHIT) METHODS: Patients with definite MD using the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) of 1995 criteria modified in 2015 and treated with ELSS (sac decompression or sac opening) were included. The primary outcome was the preservation of vestibular function, comparing pre- and postoperative vestibular function tests: VNG, VEMP, VHIT. Secondary outcomes were control of episodes of vertigo, hearing outcome using AAO-HNS criteria, and QoL using the Menière's disease outcome questionnaire. Read More
