Day case stapedectomy is a safe and effective outpatient procedure for select patients. Most patients (91.2%) were discharged the same day, with excellent hearing outcomes in 87.5%.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Audiology

Context:

  • Day case surgery is expanding across medical disciplines.
  • Otologic surgery, particularly stapedectomy, has limited day case data, often focusing on chronic otitis media.
  • This study investigates stapedectomy as an ambulatory procedure.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of performing stapedectomy as a day case procedure.
  • To assess patient selection criteria for ambulatory stapedectomy.
  • To analyze audiological results following same-day discharge stapedectomy.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 71 ambulatory stapedectomies performed between October 1998 and December 2002.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on anesthetic risk (ASA I-III), controlled chronic diseases, no bleeding history, and essential post-discharge support.

  • 91.2% of patients were discharged on the same day, with 87.5% achieving an air-bone gap of 10 dB or less at six months.

    • Impact:

    • Demonstrates that stapedectomy can be safely performed as a day case procedure.
    • Highlights the importance of careful patient selection for successful ambulatory otologic surgery.
    • Suggests potential for increased efficiency and patient convenience in otologic surgical practice.
