Abstract

To evaluate outcomes of stapedectomy surgery for congenital stapes fixation. Retrospective chart review. The charts of 463 stapedectomies performed by 1 surgeon from 1996 to 2003 were reviewed. Patients with a history of childhood hearing loss and operative findings consistent with congenital fixation of the stapes were included. Patients with a history of trauma or chronic otitis media and those with otosclerosis were excluded. Thirty-six patients underwent stapedectomy for congenital fixation. Revision cases and those with inadequate postoperative bone or air conduction data were excluded. Inclusion criteria were met for 25 patients. Operative findings and hearing outcomes were evaluated. The study group was comprised of 25 stapedectomies. Closure of the air-bone gap to less than 10 dB was achieved in 48% of cases, and 80% had closure within 20 dB. A gap of more than 30 dB remained in 3 cases. There were 2 cases of sensorineural hearing loss with worsening of the bone conduction thresholds by 15 dB and 30 dB. There were no instances of perilymph gusher. In addition to an excluded case that was not reconstructed because of facial nerve position, 3 of the included patients were found to have a dehiscent facial nerve at surgery....Continue Reading
