Advanced Treatment Options for Stapedectomy

While hearing aids can provide temporary relief, surgery is often the definitive solution. Treatment options include:

Conventional Stapedectomy – Removal of the immobilized stapes bone and replacement with a prosthesis.
Stapedotomy – A modified approach where only a small hole is made in the stapes footplate, and a prosthesis is inserted.
Laser-Assisted Stapedectomy – Uses precision laser technology for safer removal and reduced risk of complications.

These advanced techniques aim to restore hearing while ensuring minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.

Recovery Time

Most patients recover from Stapedectomy within 2 to 3 weeks, although complete hearing improvement may take up to 6 weeks or more. Patients are generally advised to avoid strenuous activity, loud noises, and water exposure to the ear during the recovery phase.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before: Pre-surgical hearing tests, blood work, and imaging are conducted. The ENT specialist explains the procedure and provides pre-op instructions.

During: The surgery is usually performed under local or general anesthesia and takes about 1 to 2 hours. The immobilized stapes bone is replaced with a prosthetic device.

After: Patients may experience mild dizziness, fullness in the ear, or temporary taste changes. A follow-up hearing test is scheduled to evaluate improvement.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

Week 1: Rest is crucial; avoid nose-blowing, heavy lifting, and sudden movements.

Week 2–3: Gradual resumption of normal activities. Hearing improvement may become noticeable.

Week 4 onwards: Patients can return to work unless their job involves heavy physical strain.

Post-care: Keep the ear dry, follow medication schedules, and attend all follow-up consultations to ensure proper healing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is Stapedectomy a safe procedure?

Yes, Stapedectomy is generally safe when performed by experienced ENT surgeons. Risks like infection or dizziness are rare and manageable.

Will I regain full hearing after surgery?

Most patients experience significant improvement, although complete restoration may vary depending on the severity of the condition.

Can both ears be treated at once?

Usually, only one ear is treated at a time. If needed, surgery on the second ear is done after recovery from the first.

How long before I can fly after surgery?

Flying is generally discouraged for at least 4–6 weeks after Stapedectomy to avoid ear pressure complications.

Will I need hearing aids after surgery?

In most cases, hearing improves enough to avoid hearing aids, though some patients with advanced otosclerosis may still need them.
