Otosclerosis is a disease that causes progressive hearing loss. It is characterized by a hardening of the bone at the base of a small bone in the middle ear, the stirrup, which prevents it from vibrating properly. This blocks the transmission of sound to the inner ear.

Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure to correct this problem. The damaged stapes is removed and replaced with an artificial prosthesis. This prosthesis, which consists of a small plastic tube and metal wire, takes over the role of the natural stapes and restores normal hearing.

Risks and Side Effects

  • Additional hearing loss.
  • Vertigo or dizziness.
  • Tinnitus.
  • Infection.
  • Facial nerve damage.
  • Perilymphatic fistula.

Among our doctors for your Stapedectomy

Stapedectomy: When and why?

Having trouble hearing, even when the sound is loud? Stapedectomy could be the solution. This surgical procedure is designed to correct deafness caused by a blockage in the middle ear, often due to a disease called otosclerosis.

Although otosclerosis is the main indication, stapedectomy can also be considered for other causes of stapes ankylosis, such as head trauma, infection or joint fixation.

During a stapedectomy, the surgeon replaces the stapes, a small bone in the middle ear, with a prosthesis to restore sound transmission. It's like replacing a faulty part in a complex mechanism.

If you suspect hearing loss, consult an ear, nose and throat specialist in Turkey. He or she will be able to confirm the diagnosis and explain whether stapedectomy is the best option for you.

Conductive hearing loss: What is it?

Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound vibrations cannot move freely through the outer or middle ear. One of the most common causes is stapes fixation, often due to a disease called otosclerosis.

Otosclerosis is a bone disease that affects the stapes and can lead to progressive hearing loss. Typical symptoms of otosclerosis include:

This condition, caused by sclerosis of the stapes, is usually treated surgically by stapedectomy.

Causes of otosclerosis

Otosclerosis, a bone disease of the middle ear, is the result of a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Although heredity plays a predominant role, with transmission often in families, the genetic picture of otosclerosis remains complex, probably involving several genes. 

While genetic mutations have been identified, their precise mode of action in the abnormal bone formation characteristic of this disease is not yet fully understood.

Environmental factors, such as certain viral infections (notably measles) or hormonal influences, could act as triggers in genetically predisposed individuals, modulating the expression of the genes involved.

Diagnosis prior to stapedectomy

Otosclerosis is the main cause of stapedectomy. To establish a precise diagnosis, your otolaryngologist will perform a complete workup. This includes :

These examinations help to determine the nature and extent of your deafness, and to ensure that stapedectomy is the most appropriate treatment for you.

Alternatives to stapedectomy

Before resorting to surgery, various alternatives can be considered:

The stapedectomy process in Turkey

Before undergoing a stapedectomy, a precise hearing assessment will be carried out. In Turkey, the operation is performed under general anesthesia, so you'll be completely relaxed. 

A small incision behind the ear allows the surgeon to access the middle ear and replace the stapes with a biocompatible prosthesis. 

This procedure, which lasts around an hour, will enable you to regain clear hearing. 

After the operation, a few simple treatments are all that's needed to ensure a rapid recovery.

Post-operative phase

After the operation, your hospital stay is generally short. A period of recovery at home is then necessary. Carefully follow your surgeon's advice on how to care for your ear and how to avoid straining it. 

As with any operation, stapedectomy carries rare risks: infection, bleeding, dizziness or, exceptionally, damage to the facial nerve. Your surgeon will explain in detail the precautions you need to take to minimize these risks.

It's normal for your hearing to improve gradually over the next few weeks. Be patient, as the results are often very satisfactory.
