Small-opening stapedotomy for otosclerosis shows good functional results by day 5. High-frequency hearing recovery, especially at 8 kHz, takes longer, becoming evident by day 30.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Audiology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Otosclerosis is a common cause of conductive hearing loss.
  • Stapedectomy is an established surgical treatment for otosclerosis.
  • Small-opening stapedotomy offers a minimally invasive approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the early functional outcomes of small-opening stapedotomy.
  • To assess the hearing recovery timeline, including high frequencies.
  • To determine the effectiveness of small-opening stapedotomy in otosclerosis patients.

Main Methods:

  • Audiometric evaluation of patients post-small-opening stapedotomy.
  • Assessments conducted at 3, 5 days, and 1 month post-surgery.
  • Analysis of air conduction/bone conduction gaps and frequency-specific recovery.

Main Results:

  • Approximately 60% of patients achieved good functional results by day 5 (gap within 5 dB).
  • Hearing recovery at 4 kHz occurred concurrently with lower frequencies.
  • Recovery at 8 kHz was delayed, observed by day 30, and less frequent than 4 kHz recovery.

Conclusions:

  • Small-opening stapedotomy provides early functional hearing improvement for otosclerosis.
  • High-frequency hearing recovery, particularly at 8 kHz, requires a longer timeframe.
  • Audiometric monitoring up to 1 month is crucial for assessing full hearing recovery.
