Stapedectomy
Description
Stapedectomy is a delicate microsurgical procedure performed to improve hearing in patients with otosclerosis, a condition in which the stapes bone in the middle ear becomes fixed and is unable to transmit sound effectively. At K. B. Haji Bachooali Charitable Ophthalmic and ENT Hospital, Parel, Mumbai, our skilled ENT specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and advanced surgical treatment for patients experiencing conductive hearing loss caused by otosclerosis.
Before recommending surgery, our team conducts a detailed ear examination, hearing tests (audiometry), and other necessary investigations to confirm the diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. During a stapedectomy, the diseased stapes bone is partially or completely removed and replaced with a tiny prosthetic implant. This allows sound vibrations to be transmitted efficiently to the inner ear, helping restore hearing and improve overall auditory function.
The procedure is performed using advanced microscopic techniques to ensure precision, safety, and optimal outcomes. Our experienced ENT surgeons focus on preserving surrounding ear structures while minimizing discomfort and promoting a smooth recovery. Patients receive complete pre-operative counselling, post-operative care, and regular follow-up to monitor hearing improvement.
