Abstract: | We perform a comparative study on the results obtained through three stapedectomy techniques. The hearing gain was evaluated in 107 ears with total footplate removal, Shea prosthesis and connective tissue graft, in 81 ears with particular footplate removal, the same prosthesis, and no tissue graft, and in 66 ears with stapedectomy. The differences between the three groups in the air-bone gap closure or postoperative complications were not statistically significant. We conclude that results depend more on the surgeon than on the technique. |
