endolymphatic sac decompression

Endolymphatic sac decompression is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving symptoms of Meniere’s disease, such as vertigo, hearing loss, and ringing in the ears. The surgeon creates an opening in the endolymphatic sac, a structure involved in fluid regulation within the inner ear, to reduce pressure build-up caused by abnormal fluid accumulation. This helps improve inner ear function and decrease vertigo episodes. The procedure is less invasive than other ear surgeries and generally aims to preserve hearing, providing symptom relief with minimal risk.
