Long-Term Outcomes of Round Window Reinforcement for Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence Syndrome

Conclusions Since long-term outcomes do not compare with those reported for plugging and repair, RWR is not suggested as a first line intervention for SSCDS. Considering the stable rates of improvement on average 2.9 years postoperatively and the absence of major complications, RWR may be an alternative to plugging or repair in fragile patients who do not accept the risk of complications with more invasive surgery, and who accept that results may deteriorate over time.
