When is Revision of a Stapedectomy Recommended?

This procedure is typically recommended for individuals who experience:

  • Persistent or Recurrent Hearing Loss: If hearing does not improve or worsens after the initial stapedectomy.
  • Dizziness or Balance Issues: If vertigo or balance problems develop following the initial surgery.
  • Prosthesis Problems: If the prosthesis used to replace the stapes bone becomes dislodged or malfunctions.
  • Scar Tissue Formation: If scar tissue interferes with the movement of the prosthesis or other structures in the middle ear.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms after your initial stapedectomy, a revision surgery may be necessary to correct the problem and restore hearing.

How to Prepare for the Procedure

At Medfin , we guide you through the preparation process for the revision of a stapedectomy:

  • Initial Consultation: You’ll meet with our ENT specialists to discuss your symptoms and review the results of your previous surgery.
  • Hearing Tests: Audiometric tests will be conducted to assess your current hearing levels and identify any issues that may require correction.
  • Imaging Tests: In some cases, a CT scan or MRI may be recommended to provide a detailed view of the middle ear structures and the position of the prosthesis.
  • Medication Review: Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, as some may need to be adjusted before the procedure.

How the Procedure is Performed

At Medfin , the revision of a stapedectomy is performed with precision and care:

  • Anesthesia: The procedure is typically done under local or general anesthesia to ensure comfort.
  • Surgical Access: The surgeon will make an incision in the ear canal to access the middle ear.
  • Prosthesis Adjustment or Replacement: The surgeon will assess the position and function of the existing prosthesis. If necessary, the prosthesis will be adjusted, replaced, or removed to correct any issues.
  • Completion: Once the necessary adjustments are made, the incision is closed, and the ear is bandaged. The procedure usually takes about 1 to 2 hours.

What Happens After the Procedure?

After your stapedectomy revision at Medfin , we provide comprehensive post-procedure care:

  • Recovery: You may experience mild discomfort, dizziness, or a feeling of fullness in the ear, which can be managed with prescribed medications.
  • Hearing Improvement: Hearing typically improves gradually after the procedure, though it may take a few weeks for the full effects to be realized.
  • Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor your recovery and ensure that the revision was successful.
  • Return to Normal Activities: Most patients can return to their normal activities within a week, though you may be advised to avoid certain activities, such as heavy lifting or flying, for a period of time.

Risks of the Procedure

  • Hearing Loss: In rare cases, further hearing loss can occur.
  • Dizziness: Some patients may experience dizziness or balance issues after the surgery, which typically resolves with time.
  • Tinnitus: A ringing or buzzing in the ear may occur post-surgery.
  • Infection: As with any surgery, there is a risk of infection, which can be minimized with proper care.
