Question about Surgery / Microvascular Decompression of Cochleovestibular Nerve

[Lazarus]

Has someone of our terrific T pundits heard about Microvascular Decompression of Cochleovestibular Nerve?

And what do you think, in general, about surgery as a T treatment?

Thank you in advance. Very very bad hours here, btw.

What does this surgery do? Is it same thing as cutting the auditory nerve? If it is, it will not remove your tinnitus.

 

[Lazarus]

No it's not about cutting nerves.

This is very interesting. Seems the paper was published over 20 years ago, wonder why there was no follow up?
