  • Title: Stapedectomy Versus Stapedotomy.
    Author: Cheng HCS, Agrawal SK, Parnes LS.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 2018 Apr; 51(2):375-392. PubMed ID: 29397948.
    Abstract:
    Stapedectomy and stapedotomy represent the state-of-the-art surgical procedures in addressing the conductive hearing loss caused by otosclerosis. Their high rates of success and long-term stability have been demonstrated repeatedly in many studies. In comparing the short- and long-term results of the 2 procedures, it is evident that stapedotomy confers better hearing gain at high frequencies and lower complication rates. Modified stapes mobilization procedures may represent the next major development in stapes surgery in a selected patient population.
