What does UVD mean in PHYSIOLOGY

Final Words:Unilateral Vestibular Deafferentation (UVD) is a surgical procedure used to treat inner ear disorders creating a sense of imbalance or dizziness in some individuals who have not had success with other treatment options such as physical therapy exercise programs alone. Although there are potential risks associated with this procedure including hearing loss, tinnitus, facial nerve paralysis or infection at the surgical site; when properly performed it can be very effective at reducing symptoms associated with certain types of Vestibular Disorders that do not respond well to alternative treatments alone
