Second ear stapedotomy is a safe and effective procedure for otosclerosis, offering significant audiological improvements in most patients. This study confirms good outcomes and minimal complications for repeat stapedotomy surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Otosclerosis is a common cause of conductive hearing loss.
  • Stapedotomy is a surgical treatment for otosclerosis.
  • Data on outcomes of 'second ear' stapedotomies are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the audiological outcomes and safety of second ear stapedotomy in patients with otosclerosis.
  • To analyze surgical results and patient features retrospectively.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 23 patients undergoing second ear stapedotomy.
  • Evaluation of pre- and post-operative audiological data.
  • Review of surgical details and patient characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in air-bone gap was observed in all patients.
  • Bilateral hearing improvement occurred in 87% of patients.
  • No incapacitating complications were reported during follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Second ear stapedotomy is a safe surgical option for otosclerosis.
  • The procedure yields good audiological results.
  • Repeat stapedotomy can effectively address hearing loss in the contralateral ear.
