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%.

Reliability of Microdrill Stapedotomy
Otology & Neurotology, 2007To 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 ...

Stapedotomy Versus Stapedectomy
Otology & Neurotology, 2009The postoperative results in 392 otosclerotic ears were analyzed. Stapedotomy with wire Teflon piston does not increase the risk of postoperative fistula formation in comparison to stapedectomy with tissue graft sealing. Stapedotomy with a 0.4 mm wire Teflon piston yields poorer results in the lower frequencies 3 weeks postoperatively but results as ...

Transcanal endoscopic stapedotomy
Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2017Transcanal endoscopic stapes surgery has recently been described as an alternative to the traditional microscopic procedure. The principal advantage cited by proponents of the endoscopic approach is improved visualization, whereas the primary limitation of the endoscopic approach is the need for one-handed surgery, which limits the ability to suction ...

Stapedectomy versus Stapedotomy
2007Four hundred and twelve consecutive stapes operations for otosclerosis performed by the author were analyzed. A fat wire stapedectomy prosthesis (Schuknecht) was used in 160 cases and a Fisch Teflon wire piston in 252 ears. Ninety-four percent of the patients with a fat wire prosthesis had a closure within 10 dB and the remaining 6% one within 10-20 dB.

HNO, 2012
In addition to hearing aids, stapesplasty represents the standard treatment of otosclerosis-induced hearing loss. In this procedure, the stapes superstructure is replaced by a prosthesis that is attached to the long process of the incus and communicates through a perforation in the footplate with the perilymphatic space of the inner ear. The removal of
