Learning Curve for CO<sub>2</sub> Laser Stapedotomy: A Single-Surgeon Experience in South Korea. [PDF]

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol
This study defines the learning curve for CO2 laser‐assisted incus‐stapedotomy in a low‐volume East Asian setting. Using Bayesian and cumulative sum analyses of 100 consecutive cases, we identified a robust proficiency transition at approximately the 30th case.
