Stapedectomy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A stapedectomy is a surgical procedure of the middle ear in which the stapes, one of the small bones responsible for transmitting sound, is replaced with a prosthesis. It is considered in certain cases of hearing loss linked to the fixation of that small bone, as occurs in otosclerosis.
Which specialist performs it? It is the otolaryngologist who evaluates hearing, confirms the cause, and determines whether this surgery is an appropriate option for each person.
When to consider it? When progressive hearing loss affects daily life and testing points to a problem with sound transmission, it is a good idea to discuss the alternatives with the specialist.
To keep in mind: not all hearing loss is resolved with this procedure. The indication is individual, so the prudent course is to review the case with a trusted otolaryngologist.
