Ménière's Disease

In order to discern trends in surgical procedures used to treat Ménière's disease in the United States during the 1990s, we mailed a questionnaire to 700 members of the American Otological Society and the American Neurotology Society. These physicians were asked about the frequency, results, and complications of surgical procedures for Ménière's disease that they had performed between Jan. 1, 1990, and Dec. 31, 1999. Questionnaires were returned by 137 surgeons (19.6%). Their responses indicated that the number of vestibular neurectomies, labyrinthectomies, and endolymphatic sac surgeries all decreased during 1999. Meanwhile, the use of office-administered intratympanic gentamicin therapy increased rapidly throughout the entire 10-year period, and by 1999 it had become the most frequently used invasive treatment for Ménière's disease. Surgeons now seem to reserve inpatient procedures for cases where intratympanic gentamicin fails to control vertigo.

It is with great pleasure and fond memories that I write about my fellowship in Sydney between July and December 2010. I was extremely privileged to work with Professor W P R Gibson, one of the early pioneers of cochlear implantation, who is well known for his work in otological electrophysiology and also a world-renowned figure in Ménière's disease research (Figure 1). It was therefore with some anticipation that I travelled, with my family, to Australia in July 2010.
