Abstract |
Objective |
To evaluate preoperative predictive factors 2years after endolymphatic sac surgery (ESS) in patients with Ménière's disease (MD).
Materials and methods |
A retrospective single-center study included patients who underwent ESS between 2015 and 2022, with unilateral MD according to the criteria of the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) as revised in 2015, and resistant to first-line medical treatment. The main study endpoint was the incidence of postoperative vertigo episodes. Secondary endpoints comprised hearing preservation at 2years and surgical efficacy.
Results |
Thirty-eight patients were included. Significant vertigo control was achieved in 63% (n=24). No predictive factors were identified for vertigo control or improvement in quality of life. Pure-tone and speech audiometric results were preserved at 2years. Whether the endolymphatic sac was sectioned or not did not significantly impact surgical outcome.
Conclusion |
No predictive factors for successful ESS emerged. ESS is a conservative second-line surgical treatment, with key indications for bilateral MD or MD in patients with preserved hearing.
