Seventy-nine patients were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups. Forty-four (55.7%) patients with mobile stapes were classified as group 1, and 35 (44.3%) patients with fixed stapes were classified as group 2. Improvement of the air-bone gap (ABG) to become less than 20dB and the pure-tone average (PTA) by at least 10dB postoperatively were accepted as success criteria. The PTA and ABG levels were significantly improved in both groups. The pre- and post-operative PTAs were 46.57±15.55 and 25.84±15.47dB, respectively, in group 1 (p=0.001). The pre- and post-operative PTAs were 55.64±12.69 and 36.20±14.47dB, respectively, in group 2 (p=0.001). The pre- and post-operative ABG levels were 35.36±10.53 and 16.91±8.54dB, respectively, in group 1 (p=0.001). The pre- and post-operative ABG levels were 41.68±8.78 and 22.20±10.03dB, respectively, in group 2 (p=0.001). A gain ≥10-dB in the PTA in groups 1 and 2 was found in 34 (77.2%) and 23 (65.7%) patients, respectively, and the difference between the groups was not significant (p=0.684). The post-operative AGB in groups 1 and 2 was less than 20dB in 32 (72.7%) and 21 (60%) patients, respectively, and the difference between the groups was not significant (p=0.733). No significant negative effect of stapes fixation on post-operative hearing results in TS was detected. Successful results can be obtained with a mobilization procedure, even if the stapes is fixed.
