The CO(2) laser with a scanner system enables efficient "one-shot" stapedotomy for otosclerosis surgery. This optimized technique is well-suited for stapes surgery, achieving successful perforations in most patients.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Technology
  • Laser Applications

Context:

  • Stapes surgery aims to restore hearing in patients with otosclerosis.
  • Optimizing the surgical technique is crucial for successful outcomes.
  • The CO(2) laser and scanner system offer a new approach to stapedotomy.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of "one-shot" stapedotomy using a CO(2) laser and scanner system.
  • To assess the feasibility of achieving a 0.5-0.6 mm footplate perforation in a single laser application.
  • To analyze the clinical results of this technique in a large patient cohort.

Summary:

  • A total of 255 otosclerosis patients underwent primary CO(2) laser stapedotomy with a SurgiTouch scanner.
  • A single laser application achieved adequate perforation in 68% of cases; 14% required a second application, and 18% needed manual enlargement.

  • No inner ear complications were attributed to the laser use.

    • Impact:

    • The CO(2) laser combined with scanner systems is a suitable tool for stapes surgery.
    • This technique demonstrates potential for improving surgical efficiency and patient outcomes in otosclerosis treatment.
    • Further research may explore long-term hearing results and broader applications of this technology.
