Summary

Endoscopic stapes surgery offers better visualization and fewer complications than microscopic surgery. This technique resulted in a significantly smaller postoperative air-bone gap and reduced patient pain.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Stapes surgery is a common procedure for hearing loss.
  • Traditional microscopic techniques have limitations in visualization and access.
  • Endoscopic approaches are emerging as potential alternatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes and complications of endoscopic stapes surgery versus microscopic stapes surgery.
  • To evaluate audiological results and surgical findings between the two techniques.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study of patients undergoing stapedotomy between 2012 and 2014.
  • Patients were divided into two groups: endoscopic (Group I) and microscopic (Group II).
  • Preoperative and postoperative pure tone audiometry (PTA) was performed to measure air-bone gap (ABG).

Main Results:

  • The mean postoperative ABG was significantly smaller in the endoscopic group (9.3±7.1dB) compared to the microscopic group (13.5±9.7dB) (p=0.023).
  • Postoperative pain was reported by four patients in the microscopic group, but none in the endoscopic group (p=0.045).
  • Endoscopic surgery provided superior visualization of the stapes, oval window niche, and facial nerve.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic stapes surgery demonstrates significant advantages, including enhanced visualization and accessibility.
  • The technique leads to improved audiological outcomes and a reduction in postoperative complications like pain.
  • Endoscopic stapes surgery is a promising alternative to the traditional microscopic approach.
