Stapes Surgery
Stapes Surgery (Stapedotomy / Stapedectomy) is a microsurgical procedure performed to treat hearing loss caused by otosclerosis, a condition where the stapes bone becomes fixed and restricts sound transmission. At OM ENT & Maternity Hospital, this surgery is performed by experienced ENT specialists using advanced microscopic techniques to restore hearing safely and effectively.
When Is Stapes Surgery Required?
Stapes surgery is recommended for patients experiencing:
- Progressive hearing loss
- Difficulty hearing conversations
- Diagnosed otosclerosis
- Poor response to hearing aids
- Normal ear drum with conductive hearing loss
Our ENT specialists perform detailed hearing assessments before recommending surgery.
How Stapes Surgery Is Performed
The procedure is usually done under local or general anesthesia. The fixed stapes bone is partially or completely removed and replaced with a prosthesis, allowing sound vibrations to reach the inner ear properly.
