    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Stapedectomy, a common procedure for hearing loss, can present unusual intraoperative challenges.
    • Addressing complications such as a floating stapes footplate, partial incus absence, or combined otosclerosis with malleus fixation requires specific surgical strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and advocate surgical techniques for managing three uncommon ossicular problems encountered during stapedectomy.
    • To report hearing outcomes in a series of patients undergoing these specialized stapedectomy procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Management of a floating stapes footplate using a Robinson prosthesis.
    • Application of the Lippy modification of the Robinson prosthesis for partial absence of the incus long process.

  • Performing stapedectomy alone for cases of otosclerosis with malleus fixation.

    • Main Results:

    • Hearing results in 242 cases were evaluated.
    • The described surgical techniques yielded satisfactory hearing outcomes.
    • No instances of further sensorineural hearing loss were observed post-operatively.

    Conclusions:

    • Specialized techniques effectively address unusual ossicular problems during stapedectomy.
    • These methods offer a viable solution for complex cases, preserving or improving hearing.
    • The surgical approaches discussed are safe and effective, preventing additional hearing deficits.
