Abstract

Objective: To demonstrate a small fenestra stapedotomy technique modified from laser stapedotomy technique. Background: Small fenestra stapedotomies are well established and were proven to give better hearing result and had fewer complications compared to the total removal of the stapes footplate. This technique can be further modified to reduce the possibilities of complications such as floating foot plate and incus dislocation. In this presentation we demonstrate a flexible technique modified according to the footplate exposure and accessibility. This technique is safe and effective with minimal vestibular upset.
