Stapedotomy or Stapedectomy: Does It Really Matter? [PDF]

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology
Introduction Otosclerosis leads to stapes fixation and consequent conductive hearing loss. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment, and it can be achieved through small fenestra stapedotomy or stapedectomy. Despite the first being favored by most,

Effect of closing material on hearing rehabilitation in stapedectomy and stapedotomy: A finite element analysis

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Stapedotomy or stapedectomy operations are often performed to treat otosclerosis. During the operation, the space created by bone removal is usually filled with a closing material such as fat or fascia. In this study, the effect of the Young’s modulus of

Is the Carhart notch a predictive factor of hearing results after stapedectomy?

Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica, 2021
SUMMARY The Carhart notch (CN) is a depression in the bone-conduction audiogram of patients with clinical otosclerosis. The middle frequencies from 0.5 to 2 kHz, which correspond to the resonance frequency of the middle ear, can be substantially improved
