Conventional vs. diode laser stapedotomy: audiological outcomes and clinical safety.

Purpose: To compare the hearing results and clinical safety of patients undergoing stapes surgery with conventional technique and diode laser.

Methods: Retrospective observational study, which included patients treated with primary stapes surgery performed between January 2009 and January 2020. Three audiometric measurements (PTA, GAP and SDS) were evaluated as main results, evaluated by analysis of covariance (controlling the preoperative value).
