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

Stapedotomy or Stapedectomy: Does It Really Matter? [PDF]
International Archives of OtorhinolaryngologyIntroduction 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,
