Study of 50 Cases of Otosclerosis by Stapedotomy: Our Experience

Abstract

BACKGROUNDOtosclerosis which is one of the commonest causes of non-suppurative conductive hearing loss. Small fenestra or stapedotomy is developed by Shea 1962 in which fenestration is made in foot plate of stapes and proper-sized Teflon piston is inserted between the long process of incus and fenestra. This procedure is less traumatic and therefore there are less chances of sensorineural loss.
