Seventy-three patients who had frequent vertigo even after receiving standardized conservative treatment for at least half a year underwent resection of the lateral wall of the endolymphatic sac. Vertigo control and auditory function were assessed. Pure tone audiometry, caloric test, and vestibular evoked myogenic potential were performed to evaluate audiological and vestibular functions. The post-operative follow-up duration was more than 2 years.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among the 73 patients (male 34 cases, female 39 cases; age 20\u201369 years, average 51.4), vertigo was controlled effectively for 66 cases (90.4%) after 2 years of follow-up; 45 cases (61.6%) were completely controlled, and 21 cases (28.8%) were substantially controlled in this study. The patients of 16.4% had hearing loss with more than 10 dB change based on the four-tone average (0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz). No patient had a facial nerve weakness, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, or other complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Resection of the lateral wall of the endolymphatic sac, which can effectively control vertiginous symptoms in intractable MD patients, represents an effective and safe therapy for this disease.
