Abstract
Objective: To describe the surgical steps in endoscopic malleostapedotomy as a primary intervention and to evaluate the audiologic and surgical outcomes.
Study design: Clinical capsule report.
Setting: University hospital.
Patients: Fourteen patients (10 males and 4 females) who underwent endoscopic malleostapedotomy as a primary intervention between April 2017 and July 2023 were enrolled in this study. Demographic data, surgical information, preoperative and postoperative pure-tone averages and air bone gaps, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and follow-up data were summarized and gathered in a database for further consideration and analysis.
Results: During endoscopic ear surgery, congenital ossicular chain malformation was present in 13 cases and tympanosclerosis in 1 case. The postoperative air-bone gap improved significantly compared with the preoperative gap (18.4 versus 47.4 dB HL, respectively), and the mean air-bone gap closure was 29 dB HL. In 14% of cases, the observed postoperative air-bone gap was less than 10 dB HL, and in 64%, it was between 11 and 20 dB HL. An ABG closure lower than 20 dB HL was achieved in a total of 78% of patients. There was no sensorineural hearing loss or persistent vertigo in the study sample. Two cases of prosthesis too short or prosthesis extrusion occurred after a mean follow-up of 16.9 months.
Conclusions: Endoscopic malleostapedotomy as a primary intervention is a safe and reliable procedure and is a technique of choice in selected cases of stapes fixation with incus anomaly.
目的:描述内窥镜下镫骨切开术的手术步骤,并评估听力学和手术效果。研究设计:临床胶囊报告。单位:大学医院。患者:本研究纳入了2017年4月至2023年7月期间接受内窥镜截踝术作为主要干预措施的14例患者(10男4女)。将人口统计资料、手术信息、术前术后纯音平均值和气骨间隙、术中术后并发症及随访资料汇总成数据库,供进一步考虑和分析。结果:内窥镜耳科手术中,先天性听骨链畸形13例,鼓膜硬化1例。与术前相比,术后气骨间隙明显改善(分别为18.4 dB HL和47.4 dB HL),平均气骨间隙闭合为29 dB HL。14%的病例观察到术后气骨间隙小于10db HL, 64%的病例观察到术后气骨间隙在11 ~ 20db HL之间。在总共78%的患者中实现了低于20 dB HL的ABG闭合。在研究样本中没有感觉神经性听力损失或持续性眩晕。平均随访16.9个月后出现假体过短或假体挤压2例。结论:内窥镜镫骨切开术是一种安全可靠的治疗方法,是镫骨固定伴砧骨畸形病例的首选技术。
