title: [Surgery of inner ear diseases (author's transl)].
abstract: In the treatment of Menière's disease, surgical procedures are available when conservative measures have failed. The most distressing symptom of vertigo can frequently be arrested, tinnitus reduced and hearing improved. Sudden deafness due to round window rupture is treatable. The most important disorder with labyrinthe symptoms is the acoustic neuroma, the smaller ones of which can be operated on by otologists in collaboration with neurosurgeons using the transtemporal or translabyrinthine approach with preservation of the facial nerve.
