Abstract:
A case report is presented of a female patient who underwent stapedotomy with bad functional results Reoperation revealed a dislocated prosthesis and there was no successful hearing. Besides conduction deafness perceptive deafness occurred as well. The second reoperation disclosed reparative granuloma around the prosthesis, while histological analysis showed foreign-body granuloma. Foreign-body granuloma by stapedectomy is extremely rare and it was the first case in our 810 surgically treated ears.
