    Computed tomography (CT) effectively diagnoses complications after stapedectomy surgery, including hearing loss and vertigo. Early and delayed issues like prosthesis subluxation and otosclerosis regrowth are identifiable with CT scans.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Stapedectomy is a common surgical procedure for hearing loss.
    • Complications can arise post-stapedectomy, impacting surgical outcomes.
    • Accurate diagnosis of these complications is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing complications following stapedectomy with prosthesis insertion.
    • To identify common causes of immediate and delayed complications after stapedectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 44 patients who underwent stapedectomy with prosthesis.
    • Analysis of surgical outcomes, including hearing loss, vertigo, and sensorineural hearing loss.
    • Correlation of clinical findings with computed tomography (CT) imaging results.

    Main Results:

    • CT was diagnostic for several complications, including conductive hearing loss, prosthesis subluxation, and incus necrosis.
    • Immediate conductive hearing loss was often due to anatomical limitations or surgical technique.
    • Delayed or recurrent conductive hearing loss causes included granuloma, incus necrosis, prosthesis subluxation, and otosclerosis regrowth.
    • Sensorineural hearing loss and vertigo could be related to serous labyrinthitis or perilymph fistula.
    • CT may not show findings for perilymph fistula unless prosthesis subluxation into the vestibule is present.

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool for diagnosing various complications after stapedectomy.
    • Understanding the causes of immediate and delayed hearing loss, vertigo, and sensorineural hearing loss is essential.
    • CT findings can guide further management strategies for patients experiencing post-stapedectomy complications.
