Summary:

This video describes preoperative considerations and patient selection for stapes surgery and explains the technical nuances critical to a successful hearing outcome. Stapedotomy, which involves removal of part of the stapes bone, is performed in patients with otosclerosis, a condition characterized by abnormal bone growth around the stapes that results in conductive hearing loss. This pathology is present in 2.5% to 10% of the adult population, although the prevalence of clinically significant hearing loss is estimated at 0.4%. The surgery is performed through the external auditory canal with either a microscope or an endoscope, and while it is straightforward in concept, a variety of complexities may be encountered in practice. This video covers all steps in an endoscopic stapedotomy, including raising the tympanic membrane, confirming stapes fixation, removing the stapes, and replacing it with a prosthetic device. One case is shown in detail, and short clips from multiple cases are then used to reinforce key points. The video will offer valuable assistance in negotiating the learning curve for this procedure.
