  • Title: [Long-term results of stapedectomy and stapedotomy].
    Author: Plath P, Lenart R, Matschke RG, Kruppa E.
    Journal: HNO; 1992 Feb; 40(2):52-5. PubMed ID: 1568887.
    Abstract:
    We have followed up 91 patients for 3 or more years after stapes surgery for otosclerosis, 59 by stapedectomy and 32 by stapedotomy. The surgical technique was chosen randomly. Both surgical techniques achieved significant hearing improvement, but in the higher frequencies (3 kHz) the results of stapedotomy are better and more stable than those after stapedectomy. Surgical revision was necessary in 5 patients--1 after stapedotomy, 4 after stapedectomy.
