Otosclerosis is a well-known disease which mainly affects middle-aged female patients,causing conductive or mixed hearing loss.Diagnosis is essentially made through a complete audiometric battery testing,while treatme...
Stapes surgery is the gold standard for managing otosclerosis.It has become increasingly appreciated to perform endoscopic ear surgery worldwide as the field of endoscopy expands.In basic terms,a stapes surgery intend...
Introduction:The role of objective parameters in terms of improvement of the accuracy of highresolution computed tomography(HRCT)of the temporal bone in the diagnosis of otosclerosis remains unclear.Objectives:To inve...

Objectives:To quantify the progression of otosclerosis in the unoperated ear between two stapedotomy procedures for patients with bilateral otosclerosis which can help to determine whether a HRCT scan should be re-per...
Objectives:To assess whether bilateral otosclerosis renders pre-operative bone conduction more inaccurate by increasing the Carhart effect.Methods:Retrospective review of a database of pre and post-operative audiogram...
Objective:To assess hyperacusis after stapedotomy and its possible influencing factors.Study design:Prospective,interventional,and longitudinal study.Setting:A tertiary referral center.Patients:Fifty consecutive patie...
Objective:Malleostapedotomy allows to completely by-pass the incus in otosclerosis surgery.Recently its use has been rivaled by hydroxyapatite cement for cases of mild and moderate necrosis of the incus.However,it rem...
Objective:To report the use of a 3 mm rigid nasal endoscope in primary endoscopic stapedotomy and clinical and audiological outcomes.Materials and methods:Thirty patients diagnosed with primary otosclerosis underwent ...
Background: The measurement of the piston length during stapedotomy is important and it may have significant effects on the surgical outcome.Objective: To determine the piston length in a group of otosclerosis patient...
Otosclerosis was first discovered by Valsalva in 1704[1], and the term was first used by Anton von Troltsch in 1872 to differentiate from tympanosclerosis[2].Normallythe otic cyst in human remains stationary after ful...
