About

Considering the long-term results of otosclerosis surgery performed in our clinic, it was observed that in addition to the improvement in air conduction hearing, which indicates conductive hearing, which is the main success of the surgery, there was also an improvement in bone conduction hearing, which indicates sensorineural hearing, in patients using bone cement.

Our study aimed to examine the effect of bone cement use in otosclerosis surgery on long-term hearing thresholds and bone conduction.

Full description

A retrospective review was conducted on records of patients who underwent stapes surgery between 2012 and 2020.

Comprehensive records were selected, and patients were summoned for clinic visits for thorough examinations. Evaluation encompassed the average of air and bone conduction at 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz. A procedure-specific 16-item questionnaire and the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) were used for perceived benefit and effective factors.
