Method: 13 patients with Meniere′s disease and 3 patients with delayedendolymphatic hydrops (DEH) underwent SPL. The follow－up time was between 5 and 7 years (average 6.3years). Result:Vertigo was completely controlled in 9 patients, substantialy controlled in 4, limitedly controlledin 2 and not controlled in 1. Hearing was improved in 1 patients, stabilized in 5 and worse in 10. Tinnitus wasimproved in 3 patients, stabilized in 5 and worse in 8. Conclusion:SPL is a safe and effective method in thetreatment of Meniere′s disease and DEH, but the hearing may be insulted and tinnitus may be worse in somepatients.
