STAPEDOTOMY
This is one of the most delicate middle
ear surgery performed on the tiniest bone in our human body called as the
Stapes. This surgery is performed to correct a disease called as Otosclerosis.
In this disease the sound transmission to the inner ear is impeded as a result
of fixation of the stapes bone. The surgical process involves removal of the
fixed stapes and replacing it with an artificial material like teflon. The
results of this surgery are excellent in selective cases.
