Stapedectomy is the surgical procedure that involves the removal of all the damaged stapes bone to replace them with a micro prosthesis. This surgery helps in improving the hearing loss caused by otosclerosis and a congenital malformation of the stapes. Any of these two conditions can lead the stapes to be fixed in a position rather than being normally mobile. As a result of fixed stapes, one can suffer from hearing loss, ringing in the ears, and dizziness.
Stapedectomy is the safest and best surgical procedure to treat and prevent hearing loss due to otosclerosis and abnormal stapes bone. ENT doctors at Pristyn Care, Lucknow are highly trained and experts in performing stapedectomy with minimal risks.
Otosclerosis is an inherited disorder where an individual can suffer from conductive hearing loss as a result of immobility or fixation of stapes bone [one of the three small bones that are connected to the eardrum to help amplify the sound waves]. It can be caused when the stapes bone in the middle ear becomes stuck in place and unable to vibrate. Due to this, sound waves are not able to be amplified and the sound couldn’t travel through the ear which leads to conductive hearing loss.
To get treated for conductive hearing loss and other symptoms that are caused by abnormal stapes bone and otosclerosis, visit Pristyn Care, Lucknow.
Treatment
Our ENT specialists will primarily rule out the other diseases, disorders, medical conditions, and/or health problems that can cause the same symptoms as otosclerosis and malformed or abnormal stapes bone. They use the advanced and latest diagnostic tests like audiogram [measure hearing sensitivity] and tympanogram [middle-ear sound conduction] to confirm the otosclerosis. Along with these, imaging tests such as a CT scan are also used to diagnose otosclerosis.
At Pristyn Care, Lucknow, ENT doctors use a painless and quick diagnostic examination of the ear through a tympanometer. With the help of a tympanometer [a small device used to look at the movement of the bones within the ear], ENT doctors can find out the slow movement of the stapes bone due to either otosclerosis or congenital defect.
In order to treat hearing loss as a result of otosclerosis and/or immobility of stapes, ENT doctors at Pristyn Care, Lucknow recommend the best and safest stapedectomy at an affordable price.
Before undergoing stapedectomy, you will be sedated with general anesthesia and once you fall asleep, all your vital signs like blood pressure, heartbeat, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen levels are monitored throughout the surgery. A microscope is used to look into the ear and then an incision is made in the ear canal to lift the eardrum from the middle ear. Now, the three bones that are in the ear are evaluated and checked by our ENT doctors. After confirming that the stape bone is not able to vibrate, ENT surgeon can remove a part or all of the stapes. However, in a few cases, a small drill or laser is used. Now, the damaged or immobile stapes is replaced with artificial stapes and so improve the hearing loss over a period. Once the surgery is done, incisions made are stitched together and a package is placed in the ear.

A stapedectomy is performed under either general or local anesthesia and is not painful at all. The surgeon creates an incision to move the eardrum out of the way and access the damaged/degenerated stapes bone. The stapes is then disconnected from the incus bone, removed, and replaced with a prosthetic made of either metal or plastic. The incision is closed and the patient is sent to the recovery ward. The entire procedure takes about 90-120 minutes, and patients are usually discharged on the same day within a few hours of the surgery.
Stapedectomy is one of the safest and most effective treatments for otosclerosis, a degenerative condition that ossifies the stapes bone, hardening it and leading to hearing loss.
