Who is this surgery for?
- Diagnosis of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).
- Recurrent episodes of vertigo triggered by specific head movements (e.g., rolling over in bed, looking up, bending down).
- Vertigo accompanied by brief, intense spinning sensations and nausea.
- Persistent dizziness or imbalance affecting daily activities.
- Failed response to vestibular suppressant medications or a desire to avoid their side effects.
- Vertigo confirmed by diagnostic tests like the Dix-Hallpike maneuver.
How to prepare
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to allow for easy movement.
- Inform your ENT doctor of all current medications and medical conditions.
- Avoid eating a heavy meal immediately before the appointment to prevent nausea.
- Be prepared to describe your vertigo episodes in detail, including triggers.
- You may be asked to temporarily stop taking certain vestibular suppressant medications before the procedure for accurate assessment.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home afterward, as you may feel temporarily dizzy or off-balance.
Risks & possible complications
- Temporary increase in dizziness or nausea during the maneuver.
- Rarely, the crystals can move into a different canal, causing a different type of vertigo (canal conversion).
- Mild neck or back discomfort from the positioning.
- Incomplete resolution of symptoms, possibly requiring a repeat procedure.
- Very low risk of fainting (vasovagal response) during the positional changes.
- No significant risks of infection, bleeding, or anesthesia complications as it is a non-surgical procedure.
Recovery & hospital stay
- You may need to keep your head upright for 24-48 hours after the procedure (e.g., sleep semi-reclined, avoid bending over).
- Some residual lightheadedness or imbalance is common for a day or two.
- Your ENT may provide specific post-procedure movement restrictions or home exercises.
- Avoid sudden head movements and strenuous activity for the first few days.
- Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to assess effectiveness and perform the maneuver again if needed.

I was a total wreck before...
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Muthusamy just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my jumbled-up worries, did a quick check, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. Walked out feeling silly for being so nervous, but mostly just relieved.
