Reflexiones de la cirugía de la otoesclerosis

Abstract

 SummaryIntroduction and objective: Otosclerosis causes progressive conductive or mixed hearing loss, whose the aim treatment is stapedectomy and stapedotomy, with good hearing results and a low rate of complications. The aim of this study is to value the importance of a qualified nursing staff in order to obtein accurate hearing results in patients withstapedectomy or stapedotomy surgery. Material and methods: We present a retrospective study was conducted of 84 patients with otosclerosis performed from 2010 to 2017,  with pre and post-surgical audiometric control. We evaluated the auditory gain in the air hearing aids in conversational frequencies, age, sex, type of prosthesis, complications, as well as the effectiveness of both techniques. Results: They were a total of 79 patients.  43 surgeries were from the left ear and 36 from the right ear. 28% of the patients were men and 72% women. The average age was 46 years for men (range 28-66 years) and 48 years for women (range 31-67 years). Stapedectomy was performed in 41 cases and stapedotomy in 38 cases. 84% of the patients showed auditory gain of 25 or more decibels (dB) in the air hearing aids. The statistical differences between both surgical techniques and the type of prosthesis used were studied. Conclusion: Otosclerosis surgery, both stapectomy and stapedotomy, are safe surgical techniques which offers good hearing results. It is recommended that audiometric studies are performed by specialized staff to avoid biases in results.        GMT Detect languageAfrikaansAlbanianArabicArmenianAzerbaijaniBasqueBelarusianBengaliBosnianBulgarianCatalanCebuanoChichewaChinese (Simplified)Chinese (Traditional)CroatianCzechDanishDutchEnglishEsperantoEstonianFilipinoFinnishFrenchGalicianGeorgianGermanGreekGujaratiHaitian CreoleHausaHebrewHindiHmongHungarianIcelandicIgboIndonesianIrishItalianJapaneseJavaneseKannadaKazakhKhmerKoreanLaoLatinLatvianLithuanianMacedonianMalagasyMalayMalayalamMalteseMaoriMarathiMongolianMyanmar (Burmese)NepaliNorwegianPersianPolishPortuguesePunjabiRomanianRussianSerbianSesothoSinhalaSlovakSlovenianSomaliSpanishSundaneseSwahiliSwedishTajikTamilTeluguThaiTurkishUkrainianUrduUzbekVietnameseWelshYiddishYorubaZulu AfrikaansAlbanianArabicArmenianAzerbaijaniBasqueBelarusianBengaliBosnianBulgarianCatalanCebuanoChichewaChinese (Simplified)Chinese (Traditional)CroatianCzechDanishDutchEnglishEsperantoEstonianFilipinoFinnishFrenchGalicianGeorgianGermanGreekGujaratiHaitian CreoleHausaHebrewHindiHmongHungarianIcelandicIgboIndonesianIrishItalianJapaneseJavaneseKannadaKazakhKhmerKoreanLaoLatinLatvianLithuanianMacedonianMalagasyMalayMalayalamMalteseMaoriMarathiMongolianMyanmar (Burmese)NepaliNorwegianPersianPolishPortuguesePunjabiRomanianRussianSerbianSesothoSinhalaSlovakSlovenianSomaliSpanishSundaneseSwahiliSwedishTajikTamilTeluguThaiTurkishUkrainianUrduUzbekVietnameseWelshYiddishYorubaZulu        Text-to-speech function is limited to 200 characters  Options : History : Feedback : DonateClose
