    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Hearing Restoration

    Background:

    • Stapedotomy is a common procedure for hearing loss.
    • Previous techniques have varying success rates and complication risks.
    • The need for improved surgical outcomes in otosclerosis surgery is ongoing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel stapedotomy surgical technique.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique.
    • To report hearing outcomes and complications in a large patient cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • Performing a 0.8-mm stapedotomy at the posterior footplate.
    • Utilizing a large 6 mm square vein graft for interposition.
    • Implementing vigorous middle ear inflation from 24 hours post-operation.

    Main Results:

    • Over 5000 operations performed in the last five years.
    • No instances of 'dead ear' (complete hearing loss) reported.
    • Remarkable hearing improvement observed across the patient series.

    Conclusions:

    • The described stapedotomy technique is highly effective.
    • The technique demonstrates a low complication rate, specifically zero 'dead ears'.
    • This method offers significant hearing restoration benefits for patients.
