Patient's Perspective and Change in Quality of Life After Stapes Surgery: A Multicenter Prospective Trial

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 173, Issue 3, Page 697-704, September 2025.
Abstract Objective This study evaluated outcomes of stapes surgery in otosclerosis patients by assessing audiometric results and health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) using the Dutch Stapesplasty Outcome Test‐25 (SPOT‐25) questionnaire. Additionally, the role of SPOT‐25 in preoperative decision‐making and as a follow‐up tool was explored.

Minimally Invasive Intraoperative Laser Vibrometry (MIVIB)—A Peroperative Method to Measure Fixation of the Ossicular Chain

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 10, Issue 3, June 2025.
An objective assessment of the ossicular chain with laser vibrometry would likely improve the result of ossiculoplasty. MIVIB provides an objective assessment of the ossicular chain to identify specific fixations and therefore assist the surgeon in improving surgical outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Conductive hearing loss requires the surgeon to evaluate
