Post operative lateral semicircular dehiscence needs to be closed so that your imbalance problem gets settled and also to avoid any inner ear infections which can get transmitted by that lateral canal. Once inner is secured during surgery usually by bone cement there is no way inner ear or brain can get infected as inner ear not middle ear is near to brain. I think only surgery is option for you

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
