Clinical Indicators
- Progressive conductive hearing loss.
- Fixation of the stapes footplate.
- Potential for total auditory restoration.
Mechanism of Fixation: The Stapes Bone
Otosclerosis is characterized by abnormal bone remodeling. The stapes, the body's smallest bone, becomes fused to the surrounding tissue, preventing the mechanical vibration necessary for hearing.
Our center addresses this through two primary philosophies: Dr. Tarabichi's Endoscopic Stapedectomy and Dr. Vincent's Small Fenestra technique, ensuring tailored precision for every patient.
