|June 1, 1983
Summary
Cholesteatoma developed around a stapedectomy prosthesis, requiring removal and replacement. A second extrusion occurred due to incus necrosis, but a subsequent surgery and prosthesis replacement were successful, with no cholesteatoma recurrence.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Neurosurgery
- Medical Case Study
Background:
- Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure to restore hearing in cases of otosclerosis.
- Complications such as prosthesis extrusion and cholesteatoma formation can occur post-stapedectomy.
