People primarily undergo a stapedectomy operation to improve their hearing ability affected by otosclerosis. The main reasons for choosing this surgery are as follows:
The decision to proceed with the operation for otosclerosis is based on the degree of hearing loss, the presence of other medical conditions that may affect surgery or recovery, and the health of the ear.

The following table outlines various types of stapedectomy, which are all designed with variations to optimize outcomes:
Type of Stapedectomy Surgery | Description |
Traditional Stapedectomy | A small flap is made in the eardrum, and the entire stapes is removed, and then replaced with a prosthetic device. |
Partial Stapedectomy | Here, only a part of the stapes bone is removed while the footplate is left in place. The prosthesis is inserted by making a small hole in the footplate. |
Stapedotomy Procedure | It’s a variation of stapedectomy, where a laser or a micro drill creates a hole in the stapes footplate, into which a prosthesis is inserted. There is no bone removal and it’s a less risky procedure with better outcomes. |
Laser-assisted Stapedectomy | A laser is used to create a hole in the stapes footplate; it allows precise control and poses less risk for the inner ear. |
Piston Prosthesis | A piston-like device (prosthesis) is inserted through a hole in the footplate and attached to the incus (Teflon piston stapedectomy). The piston can be made of titanium, Teflon, or platinum. |
Perichondrium/Cartilage Graft | A small piece of cartilage or perichondrium tissue is placed around the prosthesis to promote healing and lower the risk of prosthesis displacement. |
Each type of stapedectomy surgery carries its own set of benefits, risks, and suitability criteria for different individuals, based on individual health, surgeon’s expertise, and technological availability. The decision to proceed with a particular technique is about restoring maximum hearing ability and minimizing risks.
Here are the details of what happens before, during, and after a stapedectomy surgery:
Before Surgery (Preparation)
A thorough preparation is required for stapedectomy:
A careful preparation plan can allow for a smoother procedure and comfortable recovery. Make sure you discuss all your concerns with your healthcare provider beforehand.
A stapedectomy is a surgical procedure designed to address hearing loss related to otosclerosis. In this procedure, the surgeon removes part or all of the stapes bone and replaces it with a prosthetic device. The new implant helps transmit sound vibrations to the inner ear, improving hearing clarity and volume.
