Abstract:

Otosclerosis is a condition of stapes fixation caused by disordered bone resorption and formation, one form being the fallopian otosclerosis. The aim of this retrospective study is to present the preliminary results of a new surgical technique named stapedophacotomy. From January 2014 to December 2017, eighty-one subjects were included. The median air-bone gap improved from 31.3 dB preoperatively to 6.25 dB postoperatively at last follow-up ( p<0.0100). These first results are very encouraging.
