Malleostapedotomy in Patients With Stapes Fixation: A Systematic Review

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This systematic review analyses the current evidence on malleostapedotomy as a primary or revision procedure in patients with stapes fixation. Twenty‐five studies comprising 632 operated ears were included. Malleostapedotomy proved to be a safe and effective alternative to incus‐anchoring stapedoplasty, with favorable hearing outcomes and a low ...
