AI Article Synopsis
- Stapedectomy and stapedotomy are leading surgical options for treating conductive hearing loss from otosclerosis, showing high success and stability rates.
- Stapedotomy usually provides better hearing improvement in high frequencies and has fewer complications compared to stapedectomy.
- Future advancements in stapes surgery may involve modified stapes mobilization techniques for specific patient groups.
Article Abstract
Stapedectomy and stapedotomy represent the state-of-the-art surgical procedures in addressing the conductive hearing loss caused by otosclerosis. Their high rates of success and long-term stability have been demonstrated repeatedly in many studies. In comparing the short- and long-term results of the 2 procedures, it is evident that stapedotomy confers better hearing gain at high frequencies and lower complication rates. Modified stapes mobilization procedures may represent the next major development in stapes surgery in a selected patient population.
