The sacculotomy procedure

T J McDonald et al. Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 1994 Apr.

Abstract

In patients who have unilateral idiopathic endolymphatic hydrops with intractable, severe episodic vertigo and established sensorineural deafness that cannot be helped by a hearing aid, the Cody tack procedure is the conservative procedure of choice. Local anesthesia is used, morbidity is unusual, vertigo is controlled in almost 80% of patients, and hearing can be maintained or improved.
