Uncompensated vestibular disease is a serious, disabling disorder that substantially alters quality of life. Fortunately, most dizziness and vestibular disorders are managed conservatively or with medications and are self-limited. When medical management is unsuccessful, however, there is a wide array of surgical interventions that can significantly improve the symptoms. This article reviews the broad array of surgical techniques available for managing dizziness.
