Stapes Surgery
Stapes Surgery (Stapedectomy or Stapedotomy) is a microsurgical procedure performed to treat otosclerosis – a condition where abnormal bone growth around the stapes (the smallest bone in the body) causes progressive conductive hearing loss.
Our ENT surgeon performs stapes surgery with precision to restore hearing and improve quality of life.
What is Stapes Surgery?
In otosclerosis, the stapes bone becomes fixed and cannot vibrate normally, leading to hearing loss. Stapes surgery involves removing the fixed stapes and replacing it with a prosthesis (piston) that restores normal sound transmission to the inner ear.
