Abstract
Objectives: Few studies have investigated stapedotomy using 1470 nm diode laser, and the present article contributes with clinical experience.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted to investigate hearing performance of 22 patients undergoing 1470 nm diode laser-assisted primary stapedotomy.
Results: In 8/22 cases, accidental breaches to the inner ear by the laser and in 14/22 cases the stapedotomy was performed as planned only by drill. Air-bone gap and loss of sensorineural hearing were low and with no significant differences for groups at follow-up. No patients with breaches by laser reported new or worse tinnitus.
Conclusion: Accidental breaches in the stapes footplate using this diode laser did not appear to equate with inner ear damage within this limited cohort. Hearing outcomes were not significantly affected. These findings should be interpreted with caution. Further studies evaluating this laser wavelength in stapedotomy is required.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise. JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, a selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is fully illustrated and has become a definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published monthly an annual subscription is excellent value for money. Included in the subscription is access to the JLO interactive web site with searchable abstract database of the journal archive back to 1887.
