Day-case stapedotomy: Is it a viable option?

open access: yesActa Oto-Laryngologica, 2012
Conclusions: Stapedotomy is, in our opinion, the technique of choice in stapes surgery. The precision of this technique allows clinicians to perform the surgical procedure in day surgery under local anesthesia.

Laser stapedotomy

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1999
AbstractThirty-four ears with conductive hearing loss due to otosclerosis were operated upon using the laser stapedotomy technique. Audiological results were compared with the results of 316 non-laser stapedotomies. The post-operative air-bone gap, calculated as the difference between the postoperative air and bone conduction levels, was smaller with ...

Reliability of Microdrill Stapedotomy

Otology & Neurotology, 2007
To assess the hearing outcomes and complications of the microdrill and pick stapedotomy techniques.We assessed 123 primary otosclerosis operation in 103 patients who had more than 1 year follow-up (71 microdrill; 52 pick stapedotomies). There were 87 women and 36 men in the study group (mean age, 44 +/- 11.2 years) at surgery.Stapedotomy for ...

Infrared laser stapedotomy

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 1991
A pulsed holmium: YAG laser (lambda = 1980 nm) was used to perform 0.4 mm stapedotomy fenestrations in human stapes footplates from freshly dissected cadavers under simulated surgical conditions. The energy was coupled into a 400 microns core diameter nylon fiber.

Argon Laser Stapedotomy

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1982
The argon laser has been used clinically to perform stapedotomies in patients with otosclerosis. In order to determine if this device induces histologic changes in the inner ear, stapedotomies were performed in cats. Saccular membrane fistulas, in line with the path of the laser beam, were found in 3 of 8 ears.

“One-shot” CO2 versus Er:YAG laser stapedotomy: is the outcome the same?

open access: yesEuropean Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2010
To assess and compare the functional results obtained by means of multiple-shot Erbium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser to those obtained using "one-shot" CO(2) laser stapedotomy in patients affected by otosclerosis.

Classic and reversal steps stapedotomy performed with CO2 laser: a comparative analysis

open access: yesEuropean Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2013
The objective of this paper is to evaluate and compare hearing outcomes, intraoperative and postoperative complications and tinnitus characteristics, with particular regard to the effects of stapes surgery on the course of tinnitus.

CO2 Laser Stapedotomy

The Laryngoscope, 1989
This clinical study was preceded by two laboratory experiments. The first experiment compared temperature changes in the vestibule while vaporizing a 0.6-mm stapedotomy with Argon, KTP-532, and CO2 lasers. Data demonstrated that the CO2 laser possesses superior tissue characteristics for stapedotomy. In the second experiment safe energy parameters were

Argon laser stapedotomy

The Laryngoscope, 1991
Lasers have been used in otology for 10 years. There have been reports of excellent hearing results using laser energy in surgery for otosclerosis. We used the argon laser in 75 consecutive primary stapedotomy procedures. The postoperative air-bone gap was 10 dB or less in 87% of patients and 20 dB or less in 95%.
