Background: Meniere’s disease (MD) is a disabling disease, especially in patients who are refractory to medical therapy. Moreover, selective vestibular neurectomy (VN), these selected cases, can be considered surgical alternative which preserves hearing function and facial nerve. Methods: We retrospectively studied 23 with MD diagnosis history of failed extradural endolymphatic sac surgery (ELSS) underwent combined micro-endoscopic VN, between January 2019 August 2023, via presigmoid...

Introduction: The treatment of neurovascular conflicts the V, VII, and VIII cranial nerves (CN) is currently controversial, regarding both surgical indication selection best strategy. two approaches presently most used are classic retrosigmoid, in majority cases, more rarely presigmoid retrolabyrinthine. We describe our experience endoscope-assisted microvascular decompression using retrolabyrinthine classical retrosigmoid approaches.

Introduction: The elderly people presents more comorbidities and higher risk of postoperative complications following neuro or ENT surgery. These features make them ideal candidates, in ultra-selected cases, for endoscopic surgery with a potential minimal surgical stress. In this type patients, the management neurosurgical diseases, clinical practice remains controversial, as well literature. study, we report our experience minimally invasive endonasal approaches over-85 patient.
