  • Title: How we do it: ionomeric cement to attach the stapes prosthesis to the long process of the incus.
    Author: Tysome JR, Harcourt J.
    Journal: Clin Otolaryngol; 2005 Oct; 30(5):458-60. PubMed ID: 16232253.
    Abstract:
    Keypoints * The successful use of glass-ionomeric cement in primary stapes surgery for attachment of the wire loop of the stapes prosthesis to the long process of the incus is reported. * Early hearing outcomes were similar in patients where cement was used for stapes prosthesis attachment compared with those with standard wire crimping technique. * Use of glass-ionomeric cement to attach the stapes prosthesis to the incus may prevent stapes prosthesis displacement and loosening. * This technique may decrease rates of revision stapes surgery and allow the safe use of magnetic resonance image scanning.
