Boleas-Aguirre, Iñigo Ruiz de Erenchun-Lasa, M. Bulnes-Plano] The objective was to assess audiological results after total ossicular reconstruction for stapes fixation. The study is a retrospective evaluation conducted in a tertiary referral centre. The patients were 16 adults with conductive or mixed hearing loss and stapes fixation due to tympanosclerosis or otosclerosis. A total or partial stapedectomy with perichondrium interposition on the oval window and ossicular reconstruction with titanium total prosthesis were done. To assess pre- and post-operative (1 and 4years) air and bone-conduction thresholds (frequencies 0.5, 1, 2, 3kHz), pure-tone average air and bone conduction, and air-bone gaps were measured and the number of decibels of closure of the air-bone gap at 1year and at 4years were compared. One year after surgery, air conduction thresholds and pure-tone average air conduction were improved for all frequencies, and there were no significant differences in bone conduction thresholds or in pure-tone average bone conduction. There were no differences in air and bone conduction thresholds, pure-tone average air or bone conduction between 1 and 4years. The air-bone gap was significantly reduced 1year after surgery and remained so at 4years. (Preoperative air-bone gap, 34.04dB; at 1year, 16.40dB; at 4years, 17.3dB. Decibels of closure of the air-bone gap at 1year, 17.64dB; at 4years, 16.74dB.) No differences were found between otosclerosis subjects and all other cases combined. Total ossicular reconstruction in stapes fixation due to tympanosclerosis or otosclerosis produces satisfactory short- and long-term auditory results.
