Laser‐assisted fixation of a nitinol stapes prosthesis

Abstract: NiTiBOND® stapes prosthesis can be closed by very little energy when appropriate energy sources like diode lasers are used, suggesting a relatively safe application in vivo. Lasers Surg. Med. 50:153-157, 2018. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…In our routine, during primary surgeries, beyond the footplate perforation, the posterior crus of the stapes is also vaporized with the CO 2 laser single shot technique (OPAL L30; TrueScan scanner; UniMax 2000 micromanipulator; Lasram, Budapest, Hungary) before superstructure removal. The CO 2 laser technique also has the capability of tympanosclerotic-lesion removal and piston crimping 13 without mechanical manipulation. This noncontact surgical technique minimizes trauma of the middle ear structures and mucosa, which might prevent scar tissue formation.…”

“…Ezzel párhuzamosan a beavatkozásoknál a minél tökéletesebb funkcionalitás megtartása alapkövetelménnyé vált. Ennek első eleme a halláseredmények maximalizálása eszközös [1,2], műtéttechnikai [3,4] és adjuváns gyógyszerelés [5,6] segítségével. A funkcionalitás azonban már nem csak önmagában a hallás javítását jelenti.…”

“…As a result, many technical modifications to stapes surgery have been made in attempts to decrease the degree of difficulty of the procedure. These include performing stapedotomy as opposed to stapedectomy, performing laser‐assisted instead of mechanical stapedotomy, as well as refinements in the design of prostheses to allow both maximum visualization of the stapes footplate and nonmechanical crimping of the prosthesis 11‐15 . Despite these adjustments, inferior results continue to be seen among trainees and those with less‐experienced hands in comparison with experts 16‐18 .…”

“…These include performing stapedotomy as opposed to stapedectomy, performing laserassisted instead of mechanical stapedotomy, as well as refinements in the design of prostheses to allow both maximum visualization of the stapes footplate and nonmechanical crimping of the prosthesis. [11][12][13][14][15] Despite these adjustments, inferior results continue to be seen among trainees and those with less-experienced hands in comparison with experts. [16][17][18] Many postulate that this is a result of difficulties manipulating the prosthesis itself, with studies demonstrating that experienced neurotologists apply less force to the ossicular chain than their novice counterparts when performing prosthesis placement and crimping.…”
