Abstract

In this retrospective study indications, intraoperative findings, reconstruction techniques and postoperative hearing results in revision stapes surgery were evaluated. Between March 1988 and January 1996, 150 patients underwent stapes revision. Indications for surgery were the presence of conductive hearing loss (132), dizziness (12), sensorineural hearing loss (3), deafness (2), and tinnitus (1). Intraoperative findings were lateral migration of the implant, regrowth of bone in the oval window niche, erosion of incus, cholesteatoma, and others. In most cases a new prosthesis (gold piston) was inserted between incus and vestibulum. In cases with incus erosion, a malleovestibulopexy was performed. Seventy-three percent of patients who underwent revision stapes surgery because of conductive hearing loss showed a hearing improvement of 20 dB or more. All patients who underwent revision stapes surgery because of dizziness reported an improvement of their symptoms postoperatively. Revision stapes surgery should be approached by experienced surgeons, because the risk of severe sensorineural hearing loss is higher than at the time of primary stapedectomy. Informed consent is mandatory.
