Otosclerosis surgery has seen three well-differentiated stages of development: a) SHC fenestration; b) stapes mobilization, and c) platinectomy, a procedure introduced in 1960 by Shea. Since then, only one variation has been proposed: platinotomy. After a comparative study of platinectomy versus platinotomy, we, like other authors, concluded that platinotomy was a better technique because of the ease of execution and good functional results.

Unilateral versus bilateral stapes surgery: A comparative study on auditory outcome and quality of life.
J Otol

Otosclerosis is a well-known disease which mainly affects middle-aged female patients, causing conductive or mixed hearing loss. Diagnosis is essentially made through a complete audiometric battery testing, while treatment substantially relies on stapes surgery. In this study, we analyzed audiometric and Quality-of-Life data from 33 patients in order to refine the surgical indications (unilateral versus bilateral stapes surgery) and assess the best technique (stapedotomy versus partial stapedectomy) and timing of treatment.

To compare the surgical time, auditory outcomes and safety between microdrill and diode laser in endoscopic stapedotomy. The data of patients with otosclerosis who underwent endoscopic stapedotomy in Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into microdrill group and laser group according to treatment method.

Objective: The surgical strategy of cholesteatomas is still controversial. This study aimed to compare the hearing improvement and determine the prognostic factors between endoscopic and microscopic ear surgery for attic cholesteatoma via a multicenter retrospective study.
Methods: This retrospective study included 169 patients with attic cholesteatoma who received endoscopic ear surgery (EES) or microscopic ear surgery (MES) from 12 otorhinolaryngology centers.

Aims: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of perioperative comfort in patients undergoing otosclerosis surgery under local anesthesia versus general anesthesia and to compare audiometric results, quality of life and complications.
Materials And Methods: A prospective non-interventional study was performed. Patients undergoing otosclerosis surgery between January 2019 and March 2021 at the University Hospital of Rennes were included consecutively.

The purpose of this study was to examine the quality of life (QoL) and hearing thresholds of patients who underwent 2 types of stapes surgery. A retrospective cohort study was performed comparing stapedotomy with NiTiBOND prostheses (n=20) and stapedectomy with autogenous cortical bone columella (n=20), applying the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) and the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults outcome measures with hearing thresholds. Univariate comparative statistical methods were applied.
