  • Title: Otosclerosis 3: the surgical management of otosclerosis.
    Author: Bajaj Y, Uppal S, Bhatti I, Coatesworth AP.
    Journal: Int J Clin Pract; 2010 Mar; 64(4):505-10. PubMed ID: 20456195.
    Abstract:
    The surgical management for otosclerosis has evolved from stapes mobilisation to total extraction of the footplate, the so called 'stapedectomy', to a small hole in the stapes footplate, the 'stapedotomy'. The aim of stapes surgery is to restore the vibration of fluids within the cochlear canal. Revision stapedectomy should be approached with caution. Stapedectomy can lead to some minor and other more serious complications.
