Stapes bone is responsible for amplifying the sound waves in the hearing process. Due to otosclerosis and congenital defect or injury, stapes bone can be damaged and can become fixed rather than being normally mobile. Due to this one can suffer from conductive hearing loss and to treat and prevent it, surgery is recommended called a stapedectomy. Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure where the damaged stapes bone is removed and replaced with a micro prosthesis.
ENT doctors or ear specialists at Pristyn Care, Pune are well-experienced and trained in performing stapedectomy with minimal risks.
Otosclerosis is one of the inherited disorders where stapes bone is immobile and doesn't amplify the sound waves. Due to this, you can suffer from conductive hearing loss. Stapes bone is one of the three small bones that are connected to the eardrum to help amplify the sound waves and in otosclerosis, this bone is fixed in a single position and doesn't move. To get treated for hearing loss caused due to otosclerosis, you can consult with the best and expert ENT doctors or otologists at Pristyn Care, Pune.

Treatment
ENT doctors or rhinologists at Pristyn Care, Pune use advanced and latest diagnostic tests to rule out the presence of other diseases, disorders, medical conditions, and/or health problems that can cause similar symptoms as otosclerosis and malformed or abnormal stapes bone. Audiogram [measure hearing sensitivity] and tympanogram [middle-ear sound conduction] are recommended by our ENT doctors to confirm that the otosclerosis is causing the conductive hearing loss by fixation of the stapes bone. Our ENT doctors also suggest undergoing a few advanced imaging tests like CT scans. To check movement or vibration of stapes bone, a tympanometer [a small device used to look at the movement of the bones within the ear] is used.
If you think you have conductive hearing loss due to otosclerosis, you can visit Pristyn Care, Pune to get diagnosed and treated by highly experienced ENT doctors at an affordable cost.
Stapedectomy is recommended by several ENT doctors in Pune to treat or prevent the conductive hearing loss caused as a result of otosclerosis and/or immobility of stapes bone. Otologists or ENT doctors at Pristyn Care perform stapedectomy at an affordable price using USFDA approved surgical techniques and medical devices.
However, before undergoing stapedectomy, general anesthesia is administered to you to avoid any pain or discomfort throughout the surgery. 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 check the inner structure of your ear. After evaluation, an incision is made in the ear canal to lift the eardrum from the middle ear. Now, the three small bones in the ear are evaluated and checked by our ENT doctors. Once the stapes bone is identified and checked whether it can vibrate or not, our doctors remove the damaged or immobile stapes and replace it with artificial stapes. Later, the incision made is closed, 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.
A stapedectomy implant can be made of a variety of materials such as Teflon memory effect, platinum and gold band, titanium-gold clip, or nickel-titanium alloy.
