Stapedectomy

Stapedectomy

A stapedectomy is a surgical procedure performed to address hearing loss caused by otosclerosis, a condition where the stapes bone in the middle ear becomes fixed, impeding sound transmission. Typically conducted under local or general anesthesia, the surgery involves the removal of the fixed stapes bone and its replacement with a prosthetic device, such as a small piston or wire made of stainless steel or Teflon. The procedure aims to restore the normal movement of the middle ear bones, facilitating sound transmission to the inner ear. A skilled otolaryngologist or ear specialist performs this delicate surgery using a microscope and specialized instruments through the ear canal, without external incisions. Post-surgery, patients may experience temporary dizziness, mild discomfort, or ringing in the ears. Recovery usually involves a few weeks of rest and avoiding strenuous activities. Hearing improvement varies from immediate to gradual over several weeks as the ear heals and adjusts to the prosthetic implant. Stapedectomy is considered a highly successful procedure, often resulting in significant improvements in hearing for individuals suffering from conductive hearing loss due to otosclerosis, enhancing their quality of life and communication abilities. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, such as infection, changes in taste, or further hearing impairment, although these complications are relatively rare when performed by experienced surgeons. Patients must follow post-operative care instructions diligently for optimal recovery and outcomes.
