This study shows that residents can safely perform stapedectomy, a surgery for hearing loss, achieving successful outcomes. A laser-assisted, small-fenestra technique with general anesthesia is recommended for optimal results in otologic surgery training.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Education
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure to restore hearing in patients with otosclerosis.
  • Training residents in otologic surgery requires evaluating procedure safety and success rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key parameters for successful stapedectomy.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of stapedectomy performed by surgical residents.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 71 stapedectomy cases.
  • Review of operative techniques, audiological outcomes, complications, operative time, and anesthesia types.

Main Results:

  • 87% of patients achieved closure of the air-bone gap to within 10 dB.

  • Laser-assisted, small-fenestra technique and general anesthesia correlated with improved resident performance.
  • No instances of severe sensorineural hearing loss were reported.

    • Conclusions:

    • Residents can safely and effectively perform stapedectomy.
    • The laser-assisted, small-fenestra technique is a suitable method for resident training in stapes surgery.
