The article presents postoperative results of stapedoplasty depending on the type of prosthesis (Teflon or titan). The technique of the operation was the same but snapping the prosthesis around a long process of the incus in application of titan prostheses. Thickness of tephlon prostheses was 0.8-1.0 mm, titan - 0.6-0.8 mm, the length of both prostheses was adjusted individually from 3.5 to 4.25 mm. Efficacy of the prostheses was assessed in 0.125-2 kHz and 3-8 kHz tests.

In this review presents data on efficiency endoscopic operations at some ear diseases. Now endoscopic operations are widely applied at primary and residual (or recuring) middle ear cholesteatomas, tympanic membrane perforation, otosclerosis and cochlear implantation. Proceeding from resolving power of endoscopic technology, endoscopic operation can be applied as an independent method, or as an endoscopic assisted, to be combined with otomicrosurgery operation.

The objective of the present study was to determine the optimal parameters of radiation of the CO2 laser during the surgical intervention for the treatment of the patients presenting with otosclerosis. The experimental part of the study was carried out with the use of the isolated temporal bones. Under the clinical conditions, the patients with the tympanic and mixed forms of otosclerosis underwent stapedoplasty with the use of the CO2 laser.

In recent years in the literature on stapes surgery several changes have been proposed concerning the adoption either of new technologies (Laser) or of surgical techniques preserving middle ear functional structures (stapedoplasty). The Authors carried out a personal case-report on 30 patients suffering from otospongiotic disease, in order to clarify the real advantages and possible applications of the latest developments in small fenestra stapedectomy. Twenty subjects underwent platinotomy with preservation of the stapedial tendon (stapedoplasty), while a simple stapedotomy was performed in the remaining 10 cases, with or without inversion of surgical times (a "rigid system" technique was adopted in 7 patients).
