Abstract
The transmeatal labyrinthectomy can be carried one step further to insure total vestibular ablation by opening the lateral end of the internal auditory canal (IAC) and sectioning the vestibular and cochlear nerves. This approach has disadvantages over the translabyrinthine approach in that the working space is quite limited and there is less anatomic definition of the neural contents of the IAC.
