[Surgical management of sudden deafness (author's transl)].
The conservative treatment of idiopathic sudden deafness generally shows good results. There are, however, some cases resistant to therapy which may be treated surgically by vestibulotomy. Reports are made on personal experiences as well as those of other authors. Vestibulotomy is recommended for those patients in whom the possibilities of conservative therapy have been exhausted and severe hearing loss has occurred.
