What is Laser Stapedotomy?
Laser stapedotomy (Stapedectomy) is a surgical procedure to repair conductive loss of hearing caused by otosclerosis. In otosclerosis, the stapes bone becomes rigid and therefore cannot vibrate due to a bone overgrowth surrounding the footplate. This causes gradual hearing loss. Laser stapedotomy helps in the treatment of otosclerosis by bypassing the rigid stapes with a prosthetic piston. Using carbon dioxide lasers during laser stapedotomy enables the creation of tiny and accurately placed holes, without causing temperature increase inside the ear.
How is Laser Stapedotomy performed?
Using a laser, a hole that is smaller than 0.8mm is created in the footplate.
Prosthesis is placed by bypassing the rigid stapes.
A tissue graft seal of the fenestra may also be used to improve this procedure.
Laser stapedotomy is performed on only one ear at a time. If it is required to be performed on another ear, it can be done one year later.
How to prepare for Laser Stapedotomy?
Certain medications that increase the risk of bleeding should be avoided for two weeks before laser stapedotomy. This includes herbal and homeopathic medication.
The patient can take little amounts of water for four hours before the surgery.
