OBJECTIVE To study the success results rates and complications of stapedotomy compared to stapedectomy in the operative management of otosclerosis. METHODS This is a retrospective study of 50 patients who were treated surgically for otosclerosis. The medical records of these patients were reviewed

OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of the treatment of otosclerosis using laser stapedotomy with mini incision in the external auditory meatus. METHODS Thirteen patients(15 ears) with otosclerosis evidence on clinic history. They were all operated using the laser assisted stapedotomy by mini

The author exposes the results of his own operation technique on 723 operated otosclerosis among which 618 were computerized. He suggests a new method by moving a flap of promontorial mucosa secondary set on the hole drilled in the footplate. He emphasises the remarkable results on postoperative

We compared two stapedoplasty techniques to evaluate whether one technique is safer than the other as an outpatient procedure and to demonstrate possible reasons for outpatient failures. We performed a retrospective study of patient records of 94 operated adult patients who were all initially

In a prospective case controlled study, we evaluated the adverse effects of long-term fluoride ingestion on the gastrointestinal tract. Ten patients with otosclerosis who were receiving sodium fluoride 30 mg/day for a period of 3-12 months, and 10 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers were
