    Summary

    The C-wire hand drill reduces footplate mobilization during small fenestra stapedectomy, a procedure causing less trauma and aspiration risk than total footplate removal.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure to restore hearing.
    • Traditional stapedectomy involves total footplate removal, potentially causing trauma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the C-wire hand drill for small fenestra stapedectomy.
    • To compare risks associated with small fenestra vs. total footplate removal.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing a four-sided point C-wire hand drill.
    • Performing small fenestra stapedectomy.

    Main Results:

    • Reduced risk of footplate mobilization observed.
    • Small fenestra stapedectomy demonstrated less vestibular trauma.
    • Lower risk of aspirating vestibular contents noted.

    Conclusions:

    • The C-wire hand drill enhances safety in small fenestra stapedectomy.
    • This technique minimizes vestibular trauma and aspiration risks.
    • Offers a potentially safer alternative to total footplate removal.
