Abstract
Background: Historically, stapedectomy complication rates are quoted as 1% profound postoperative sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), 5%–10% nonprofound SNHL, and 5%–10% revision surgery. Objective: We sought to reassess rates of post-stapedotomy complications based on our experience using contemporary surgical technique. Methods: A retrospective case series was carried out at an academic tertiary referral center. Adult patients undergoing stapedotomy from 2013 to 2020 were included. Primary outcomes were rates of hearing loss and revision surgery. Rates of dizziness, tinnitus, dysgeusia, and proportions of patients who achieved air-bone gap (ABG) closure at 8–12 weeks postoperatively were also assessed. Results: Four hundred sixty-eight stapedotomies in 399 patients with a median follow-up duration of 99 days (range, 11–5134) were reviewed. One patient (0.21%) suffered profound SHNL and 15 (3.20%) patients suffered nonprofound SNHL. The revision rate for stapedotomies from our institution was 4.49% (21 total revision surgeries). In 277 operations (59.19%), the patient had closure of the ABG within 10 dB. A further 132 (28.21%) had closure of the ABG between 10 and 20 dB. Air pure-tone audiometry scores improved by an average of 25.03 dB. Eighty-three (17.74%) patients complained of postoperative dizziness, which resolved by the time of the first follow-up appointment in all but 26 (5.56%). Seventeen patients (3.63%) complained of tinnitus, and 22 (4.70%) complained of dysgeusia. Conclusions: SNHL, complications, and revision rates for stapedotomy in the modern era may be substantially lower than those currently presented to patients based on classic techniques and historical data.
