Vestibular Nerve Section (Balance Nerve Division)
Division of the balance nerve is generally required in Meniere’s disease patients, who have failed all other forms of medical and surgical treatment. The treatment is an end stage treatment for incapacitating dizziness. Dividing the balance nerve has a very high success rate in stopping the incapacitating dizziness.
Your SANAMI team that performs vestibular nerve section includes a specialist skull base neurosurgeon, a neurotologist (ear surgeon with specialist skull base training) and a specialist intraoperative hearing nerve monitor technician. Along with your specialist surgical team our group only works with specialist trained neurosurgical anaesthetists, neurosurgical/ neurotological surgical nurses and neurosurgical ICU nurses. If surgery is appropriate for you and you elect to proceed with the operation, then your first post operative night and day will be in one of Australia’s most well respected and largest ICU units, North Shore Private ICU. The rest of your aftercare will be in a specialist neurosurgical post operative ward with neurosurgical nurses.
Patients following a vestibular nerve section expect excellent care. At SANAMI we look forward to providing you with the highest quality, most ethical, comprehensive and compassionate care possible. Visit the SANAMI difference.
