Stapedectomy is the surgical procedure to remove all or a part of the original stapes bone to treat hearing loss. People suffering from hearing loss caused due to otosclerosis are prescribed to undergo a Stapedectomy. It happens when the bone in the ear keeps growing keeping the stapes from moving normally.
Treatment
A patient will need a stapedectomy if he has otosclerosis. It is diagnosed by the doctors who are ENT specialists. The doctor may require to conduct hearing tests that measure the hearing sensitivity and middle-ear sound conduction. Sometimes, imaging tests such as a CT scan are also used to diagnose otosclerosis.
If the otosclerosis is mild, then the doctor will test your hearing. The doctor will also recommend you to get the hearing aid. Some of the doctors may treat otosclerosis with sodium fluoride which is a dietary supplement. But this doesn’t work. If your hearing loss gets serious, the doctor will recommend the surgery called a stapedectomy. With the procedure, the surgeon will put a device in the middle ear which moves the stuck stapes bones, which will let the sound waves to travel to the inner ear, so you will hear better. The stapedectomy can help some people but like all types of surgery, there are some risks involved. In rare cases, it can make the hearing worse. If you have otosclerosis in both ears, the surgeon will operate in one ear at a time. You will have to wait for six months after the first one ear is treated, to get treated in the second ear.

The surgeon creates an incision to move the eardrum out of the way and access the damaged/degenerated stapes bone. The stapes is then disconnected from the incus bone, removed, and replaced with a prosthetic made of either metal or plastic. The incision is closed and the patient is sent to the recovery ward. The entire procedure takes about 90-120 minutes, and patients are usually discharged on the same day within a few hours of the surgery.
