The postoperative findings in almost 800 stapedectomized ears were analyzed to evaluate the proposition that complication rates in stapedectomy were affected by the size of the footplate fenestration. It was concluded that small fenestra stapedectomy (diameter 0.4 mm) provided similar hearing gains to those achieved with standard techniques, that articulation problems occurred to a similar extent as with wire loop prostheses, and that there was a significantly lower incidence of a) fistula and b) immediate and delayed severe sensorineural hearing loss than with any other technique. There was also significantly less deterioration in bone conduction thresholds at 4 kHz after three years postoperatively. The incidence of severe immediate sensorineural loss in large fenestra stapedectomy (half or more of footplate removed) was significantly influenced by factors such as age, preoperative bone conduction thresholds and oval window pathology. A retrospective analysis provided no information which might predict oval window pathology. Additional information gained from the analysis indicated that with all types of stapedectomy, bone conduction did not deteriorate significantly more rapidly in the operated as compared to the unoperated ear, whereas in unoperated ears, deterioration in bone conduction was significantly greater in ears with mixed hearing losses than when the loss was purely sensorineural. It was concluded that small fenestra stapedectomy was currently the operation of choice because with it, the threat of cochlear dysfunction both immediately, and in the long term, was significantly less.

Exploring the relationship between stapedectomy and the labyrinthine reaction in the contralateral ear in 45 stapedectomized otosclerotic patients, the authors concluded that good operative results can be expected if the ear not operated on demonstrates hyperfunction after surgery, whereas there will be either a partial increase in hearing or no hearing gain when there is hypofunction of the opposite labyrinth.
