ENT >> Stapedotomy



Stapedotomy is a delicate operation done on the tiny bones inside the middle ear. The ear is divided into three chambers, and any disorder that affects the ear, whether trauma or disease, may cause extensive hearing loss. Stapedotomy is performed on the Stapes, the tiny bone inside the ear that helps conduct sound to the inner ear.

Sometimes, the three stapes get fused, leading to hearing loss. Stapedotomy involves removal of the stapes and replacement with artificial "stapes" made of materials like Teflon. Stapedotomy results vary from person to person; so extensive consultation with the attending ENT specialist is necessary before you can go in for surgery.

In India, all the major super specialty hospitals have ENT Departments that use the latest techniques in stapedotomy to minimize discomfort and reduce the recovery period. The Apollo Hospital in India is one of the leading super specialty hospitals in India. The Apollo Hospital in New Delhi has been accredited with the JCI in recognition of its outstanding medical facilities and the quality of treatment provided.
