Abstract

Stapes surgery has a long history. While the results are good, there is a possibility of complications that can lead to a worsening of hearing. The objective of this study was to study hearing in patients undergoing surgery using 980Nm Diode laser in the immediate postoperative period. In no case was the bone threshold worse in the first audiometry control at 10 days of surgery. The use of a 980Nm Diode laser thus minimises the chance of stapes footplate fracture with risk of its drop in the labyrinth. A thick stapes can be operated on without the trauma produced by drilling it. By facilitating the surgical procedure, stapes surgery with a 980Nm Diode laser reduces the possibility of complications.

Resumen

La cirugía del estribo tiene una larga historia. Si bien los resultados son buenos, existe la posibilidad de complicaciones que pueden llevar a un empeoramiento de la audición. El propósito de este trabajo es estudiar la audición en pacientes operados con láser diodo 980 Nm en el postoperatorio inmediato. En ningún caso empeoró la vía ósea en el primer control audiométrico a los 10 días de la cirugía.

El uso de láser diodo 980 Nm minimiza la posibilidad de fractura platinar con el riesgo de caída de la misma en el vestíbulo. Permite intervenir una platina gruesa sin el trauma que produce el fresado de la misma. La cirugía del estribo con láser diodo 980 Nm reduce la posibilidad de complicaciones al facilitar el procedimiento quirúrgico.
