Gender Histologic otosclerosis – 1:1 ratio Clinical otosclerosis – 2:1 (W:M)
Possible progression during pregnancy (10%-17%)
– Studies demonstrating changes during pregnancy usually retrospective or lack audiometric data
– Studies comparing multigravid –vs- nulligravid women with otosclerosis fail to show audiometric differences

CONDUCTIVE HEARING LOSS
5-60 dB
Fibrous ankylosis : upto 30dB
Localised bony ankylosis : 30-40dB
Entire circumference : > 40dB
Clinical observations show that it is not possible to predict the extent of ankylosis based on A-B gap.
Impiarment primarily is caused by narrowing & impairment of the annular ligament .

Tinnitus in 75% ( Wiet et al 1991 )Severe SNHL + stapedial fixationOlder age or in those with early age or
cochlear involvementKeleman & Linthicum (1969 )SNHL is most
commonly associated with basal turn involvement & are invariably present with endosteal involvement .

VESTIBULAR SYMPTOMS
10 – 30%Dizziness / vertigoScarpa’s ganglion cell counts were significantly lower in pt’s with vestibular symptoms

Physical examination
Otoscopy (often with the operating microscope)look for Schwartze sign: red blush over the promontory or area anterior to oval window
Pneumo-otoscopyevaluates for middle ear effusion or small perforation
Tuning fork exammay confirm or dispute finding of conductive hearing loss on audiometry

Advantages
Precise fenestraAvoids trauma surrounding structuresAvoiding floating foot plateGood hemostasisPresently there is no ideal laser . visible lasers,especially argon laser has excellent optical precision & superior to co2 laser. But a pulsed co2 laser is preferred for revision cases as collagen absorbs infrared rays better.

Visible lasers : argon , KTPInfrared lasers : Co2 laser
Advantages of Co2 laser :Energy is absorbed by waterDisadvantage : Cumbersome Increased working distance Less focus & decreased microscopic light.

Post-operative Complications
Facial paralysis/palsy (cont.)Retrospective review2152 stapes surgeries (2106 pts)0.51% delayed facial palsyOccurred 5-16 days post-opMeasurements
House-Brackmann gradeSerum antibody titer (HSV1, HSV2, VZV)
ConclusionSerology suggests activation of latent herpesvirus Shea JJ et al. Otol Neurotol 2001.

Post-operative Complications
Chorda Tympani damageOccurs ~30% of cases due to nerve stretching/mobilizationCauses temporary (3-4 months)
Dry mouthTongue sorenessMetallic taste
Symptoms less severe with sectioning of nerve

Post-operative Complications
Tympanic membrane perforationMay occur during elevation of tympanomeatal flapDoes not preclude completion of operationRepair involves myringoplasty or tympanoplasty with either synthetic material or autologous tissue

Revision Stapes Surgery
Retrospective review63 surgeries (56 pts)Revision reason
Recurrent or persistent ABG > 20dB post-surgical treatment for otosclerosis
Prosthesis malfunction was primary failure cause

Revision Stapes Surgery
Results52.4% ABG ≤ 10 dB9.5% without change6.3% decreased hearing ≥ 5 dB
RecommendationsExamine
Prosthesis attachment to incusOval window niche
Pistons can be removed easilyTissue wire prostheses
Difficult to remove- laser helps with removalIncreased risk of SNHL
