Background:

Stapedectomy is a common surgical procedure for hearing loss.
The Robinson stainless steel stapes prosthesis is a widely used implant.
Long-term data on prosthesis performance is crucial for surgical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Robinson stainless steel stapes prosthesis.
To analyze short-term and long-term outcomes of stapedectomy using this prosthesis.
To report on failure rates and delayed complications associated with the implant.

Main Methods:

Statistical analysis of 3,200 stapedectomy cases over a 15-year period.
Evaluation of short-term and long-term surgical results.
