Abstract
This study reports the evaluation of "second ear" stapedotomiesy results in 23 patients with otosclerosis. All pre- and post-operative audiological data, all relevant surgical information and patients' features were analyzed retrospectively. The air-bone gap showed a significant improvement in all patients. The bilateral audiometric thresholds improved in 20 (87.0%) patients; in 1 (4.3%) patient, unilateral improvement occurred with no changes in the other ear and in 2 (8.7%) patients improvement occurred in first operated ear and dropped in the second ear after the last procedure. During the follow-up, there were no incapacitating complications. Based on these findings, we can conclude Our study concluded that second ear stapedotomy is a safe procedure with good results.
