    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The small fenestra stapedectomy offers superior hearing gain and fewer complications compared to the large fenestra method. Long-term results show the small fenestra technique is more effective for stapes surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure to restore hearing in cases of otosclerosis.
    • Historically, both large and small fenestra techniques have been employed with varying outcomes.
    • Long-term comparative data on these techniques are crucial for surgical decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the long-term efficacy and safety of large fenestra stapedectomy with vein graft and Teflon piston versus small fenestra stapedectomy with Teflon piston.
    • To identify factors influencing surgical outcomes and complications in stapedectomy.
    • To evaluate the durability of hearing results over 15-20 years post-surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective comparison of 100 consecutive patients from each of two groups: large fenestra stapedectomy (n=1,943) and small fenestra stapedectomy (n=2,155), with long-term follow-up.

  • Analysis of hearing gain, functional outcomes, and complication rates, including perilymph fistula.
  • Evaluation of surgical variables such as prosthesis type, oval window seal, and attachment methods.

    • Main Results:

    • Long-term results (15-20 years) showed no significant decline compared to 5-year outcomes for both techniques.
    • The small fenestra operation demonstrated superior hearing gain, ease of performance, and reduced complications like prosthesis migration.
    • Perilymph fistula, associated with large fenestra size relative to prosthesis, was mitigated by using living oval window seals or promontory membrane flaps.

    Conclusions:

    • The small fenestra stapedectomy technique is preferable to the large fenestra method due to better hearing outcomes and fewer complications.
    • Surgical factors like prosthesis diameter and seal type significantly impact results.
    • Future research should focus on the sensorineural component of hearing loss, potentially linked to autoimmune responses.
