A modified stapes prosthesis significantly reduces postoperative vertigo after stapedotomy, maintaining hearing outcomes. This innovation enhances patient recovery following otologic surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Vestibular System Anatomy
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Postoperative vertigo is a common complication following stapedotomy.
  • Understanding the precise anatomical relationship between the stapes footplate, utricle, and saccule is crucial for surgical success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the anatomical relationship between the utricle, saccule, and stapes footplate.
  • To adapt the stapes prosthesis tip to minimize postoperative vertigo.

Main Methods:

  • Serial sectioning and staining of five temporal bones to measure distances to the saccule and utricle.
  • Modification of the Fisch prosthesis with a 45-degree tip slope.
  • Randomized trial comparing the modified prosthesis (108 ears) with the original (174 ears).

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in hearing improvement between the original and modified prosthesis groups (P > 0.5).
  • A statistically significant reduction in postoperative vertigo was observed with the modified prosthesis (P < 0.005).

Conclusions:

  • The modified stapes prosthesis achieves hearing results comparable to the original.
  • The modified prosthesis significantly decreases the incidence of postoperative vertigo, improving patient outcomes.
