    Stapedectomy can lead to lasting vestibular abnormalities, even without immediate symptoms. Careful consideration of pre-existing vestibular function is crucial before performing bilateral stapedectomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neuroscience
    • Vestibular System Research

    Background:

    • Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure to restore hearing in patients with otosclerosis.
    • Assessing the impact of stapedectomy on vestibular function is critical for comprehensive patient care.

    Observation:

    • A significant incidence of vestibular abnormalities was observed three months post-stapedectomy, primarily detected through caloric testing.
    • These abnormalities often occurred without accompanying vestibular symptoms or evidence of cochlear dysfunction.

    Findings:

    • While vestibular function showed improvement by 12 months, responses rarely normalized to symmetry after stapedectomy.
    • Long-term alterations in vestibular response appear common following stapedectomy, particularly after bilateral procedures.

    Implications:

    • Unilateral stapedectomy patients generally compensate well, but bilateral procedures may lead to less recovery.
    • Bilateral stapedectomy should be reserved for cases with documented normal vestibular function prior to the second surgery to mitigate risks.
