Learning Curve for CO2 Laser Stapedotomy: A Single‐Surgeon Experience in South Korea

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 10, Issue 6, December 2025.
This study defines the learning curve for CO2 laser‐assisted incus‐stapedotomy in a low‐volume East Asian setting. Using Bayesian and cumulative sum analyses of 100 consecutive cases, we identified a robust proficiency transition at approximately the 30th case.

A Novel 3D Printed Multi‐Material Simulator for Endoscopic Stapes Surgery: The “3D Stapes Trainer”

The Laryngoscope, Volume 135, Issue 9, Page 3356-3363, September 2025.
The 3D Stapes Trainer represents a promising platform for training in endoscopic stapes surgery. This simulator consists of a multi‐use temporal bone holder and a single‐use middle ear box, printed with material Jetting 3D printing technology. Eight participants in a university ear surgery course used the simulator to perform endoscopic stapes surgery.

Evaluation of the relashionship between clinical findings before tympanoplasty and ossicular discontinuity and erosion in patients with chronic otitis media

Otorhinolaryngology and Facial Plastic Surgery, 2017
Background: Chronic Otitis Media (COM) is a relatively common condition and the occurrence of hearing loss is probable. COM may lead to ossicular discontinuity, and unless the operation is performed, it won't be determined. Identifying possible cases of
