Meniere's disease is a noninflammatory disease, manifested by episodes of dizziness, nystagmus reaction, vegetative disorders, static disturbances, hearing loss, tinnitus. The etiology and pathophysiology of this condition are not fully understood. However, it is based on an increase in endolymph production. To date, a large number of measures have been proposed to prevent the development of dizziness attacks. Starting from lifestyle changes, medical approaches, as well as surgical interventions. But far from always, even a combination of the above methods allows patients to reduce the number of episodes of dizziness, thereby improving the quality of life. At the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the State Institution «Zaporizhzhya Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine» microsurgical methods of treating this pathology are proposed. The operations of chordoplexusectomy and grommet of the tympanic membrane give a persistent positive clinical effect, which is confirmed in the longterm postoperative period in the observed patients.
