Resident surgeons can achieve excellent outcomes in stapedectomy procedures. This study shows high success rates and no serious complications in resident-assisted stapedectomies, demonstrating effective surgical training.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Education

Background:

  • Stapedectomy procedures are declining, raising concerns about resident surgical competency.
  • Assessing the effectiveness of residency training programs is crucial for maintaining surgical standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of primary resident-assisted stapedectomies.
  • To determine if current residency training adequately prepares surgeons for stapedectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 102 consecutive stapedectomies performed over 11 years.
  • Inclusion of only primary resident-assisted cases under direct attending supervision.

Main Results:

  • Successful closure of the air-bone gap to within 10 dB in 89% of cases.

  • Absence of serious complications reported in the studied cohort.

    • Conclusions:

    • Resident surgeons, with appropriate supervision, can achieve excellent functional outcomes in stapedectomy.
    • The training methodology discussed supports the development of competent stapedectomy surgeons.
