Skeeter-Assisted Vein Graft Stapes Surgery: Stapedectomy

Vein Graft in Stapes Surgery in Bangalore

Abnormal bone growth in the middle ear is commonly referred to as Otosclerosis. The stape, a little U-shaped bone in the middle ear, is harmed by this medical condition. It helps your inner ear receive sound waves. This aberrant bone development usually stops the stapes bone from vibrating, triggering a conductive hearing loss. You may have difficulty hearing high-pitched noises like whispers if you have otosclerosis. Balance issues, vertigo, and dizziness are other probable symptoms of otosclerosis. Otosclerosis commonly affects both ears to varying degrees. However, in some instances, just one ear is impacted.

Our expert ENT doctors in Bangalore undertake Skeeter-Assisted Vein Graft Stapes Surgery, also known as Stapedectomy, to restore hearing. The procedure includes using a skeeter instrument to replace damaged stapes bone with an artificial implant and correct middle-ear damage caused by otosclerosis. Stapedectomy effectively restores hearing in more than 95% of cases, and the results are frequently permanent.

A microscope is used during the procedure to examine the tiny bones of the inner ear. Your doctor makes a tiny incision into your ear through the natural aperture to carefully remove your eardrum. The stapes and incus bones are separated. The stapes are then extracted and replaced with a plastic or metal prosthetic that transfers sound vibrations to the inner ear, restoring hearing. After the procedure, the eardrum is returned to its natural place. Hearing often recovers about a week after surgery and may improve over time. Patients are generally discharged from the hospital the same day and advised to relax at home and avoid heavy activity for one week following surgery.

The hearing normally improves one week following the first post-operative appointment. Hearing improvement is often immediate and durable, and prostheses seldom fail. It is safe to get an MRI scan following a stapedectomy procedure. Patients may fly for three weeks following surgery.
