This study compared two prostheses for otosclerosis surgery. The Fisch teflon-wire piston showed better speech reception outcomes compared to the fat-wire prosthesis.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Otosclerosis surgery aims to restore hearing by addressing stapes fixation.
  • Surgical techniques and prostheses are continuously refined for improved outcomes.
  • The author presents a consecutive series of stapes procedures for otosclerosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of two different stapes prostheses in otosclerosis surgery.
  • To evaluate hearing gain and speech reception improvements.
  • To identify optimal surgical approaches for otosclerosis.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 250 stapes procedures performed by the author.
  • Comparison between fat-wire stapedectomy (Schuknecht) prostheses (n=152) and Fisch teflon-wire pistons (n=98).

  • Operations performed under local anesthesia with endomeatal incision.

    • Main Results:

    • Fat-wire prostheses achieved closure within 10 dB in 95% of cases.
    • Fisch teflon-wire pistons achieved closure within 10 dB in 87% of cases.
    • Speech reception improved in 97% with fat-wire and 99% with teflon-wire pistons, with a significant advantage for the latter (p < 0.02).

    Conclusions:

    • The small fenestra technique with a 4 mm piston offers superior speech reception and high-frequency hearing.
    • Centralization of otosclerosis surgeries to experienced surgeons performing 8-10 procedures annually is recommended.
    • Refinement in surgical techniques is crucial for safety and acceptable results in otosclerosis management.
