Stapedectomy

What is Stapedectomy?

Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the stapes bone in the middle ear and its replacement with a prosthetic device. It is typically performed to treat conductive hearing loss caused by otosclerosis, a condition where abnormal bone growth around the stapes bone prevents it from vibrating properly.
