Stapdectomy Treatment In Delhi

Stapedectomy is a highly specialized ENT surgical procedure Dr. Dhirendra Singh Kushwah offers. It is primarily performed to treat hearing loss caused by otosclerosis, where the stapes bone in the middle ear becomes fixed, limiting its ability to transmit sound.

What is Stapedectomy?

Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure involving removing a portion of the stapes bone in the middle ear and its replacement with a prosthesis. The objective is to improve sound transmission in the ear, alleviating hearing loss caused by otosclerosis.

What is the step-by-step Surgical Process of Stapedectomy?

Stapedectomy is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, ensuring the patient’s comfort and pain control during the procedure.

  • Access Through Ear Canal
  • Stapes Removal
  • Prosthesis Placement
  • Testing Sound Transmission
  • Closure of Ear Canal

What are the Types of Stapedectomy?

  1. Partial Stapedectomy: Involves the removal of a portion of the stapes bone. The remaining part of the stapes is preserved, and a prosthesis is inserted to improve sound transmission.
  2. Total Stapedectomy: Requires the complete removal of the staped bone. A prosthesis is inserted to replace the stapes entirely.

What are the Techniques Employed in Stapedectomy?

  1. Microscopic Stapedectomy: Utilizes high-powered surgical microscopes for precise visualization and delicate manipulation of the stapes and surrounding structures. Enhances surgical accuracy and outcomes.
  2. Laser-Assisted Stapedectomy: Incorporates laser technology to precisely vaporize the fixed stapes and prepare the ear for prosthesis placement. Minimizes trauma and bleeding during the procedure.
  3. Robotic-assisted Stapedectomy (Emerging Technique) Involves robotic systems for exact and controlled stapes bone removal and prosthesis placement. A newer technique is offering potential advantages in select cases.

Which Problems are treated with Stapedectomy?

  1. Otosclerosis-Induced Hearing Loss: Stapedectomy is primarily indicated for individuals with hearing loss resulting from otosclerosis, where the stapes bone’s immobility impairs sound transmission.
  2. Otosclerosis-Induced Hearing Loss: Stapedectomy is primarily indicated for individuals with hearing loss resulting from otosclerosis, where the stapes bone’s immobility impairs sound transmission.
  3. Otosclerosis-Induced Hearing Loss: Stapedectomy is primarily indicated for individuals with hearing loss resulting from otosclerosis, where the stapes bone’s immobility impairs sound transmission.
  4. Otosclerosis-Induced Hearing Loss: Stapedectomy is primarily indicated for individuals with hearing loss resulting from otosclerosis, where the stapes bone’s immobility impairs sound transmission.
  5. Patient Suitability: Candidates for Stapedectomy must undergo a thorough preoperative assessment to ensure the procedure suits their specific condition and hearing loss etiology.

Stapedectomy, a highly specialized ENT surgical procedure offered by Dr. Dhirendra Singh Kushwah, is pivotal in restoring hearing for individuals affected by otosclerosis-induced hearing loss. Whether it’s a partial or total stapedectomy, using advanced techniques like microscopic and laser-assisted procedures ensures precise and effective outcomes.
