Impact of prosthesis position on hearing outcomes in otosclerosis patients based on ultra-high-resolution CT
Objectives
This study aimed to explore the impact of prosthesis position on hearing outcomes in otosclerosis patients based on Ultra-High-Resolution CT (U-HRCT).
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 142 patients (182 ears) who underwent stapedotomy. We compared preoperative with postoperative hearing results. An experienced radiologist extracted data about stapes prostheses from U-HRCT images, including absolute insertion depth, relative insertion depth, angle between the prosthesis and incus, angle between the prosthesis and footplate, and the relative position of the hook clamped onto the long process of incus. We analyzed potential relationships between the imaging data and postoperative hearing outcomes.
Results
We obtained satisfactory hearing results from 129 ears postoperatively. 119 ears (92.2%) presented Air-Bone Gaps (ABG) in the 0–20 dB range. We observed statistically significant differences between mean pre- and post-operative ABG at different frequencies (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz). The best results occurred at 2 kHz (98.5%). We found that the observed values for prosthesis insertion depth (mean 0.6 mm, relative depth: mean 23%) and mean angle between the prosthesis and incus (mean 91.2 °) were safe and effective. We also found that the mean angle between prosthesis and footplate was related to postoperative ABG (p = 0.049). The hook position on the long process of incus (relative distance of 10.5%) is also a crucial factor in determining postoperative hearing results (p = 0.726).
Conclusion
Prosthesis position and postoperative hearing outcomes are related. Postoperative imaging evaluation is especially important for patients who did not benefit substantially from stapes surgery.
期刊介绍:
Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology publishes original contributions in otolaryngology and the associated areas (cranio-maxillo-facial surgery and phoniatrics). The aim of this journal is the national and international divulgation of the scientific production interesting to the otolaryngology, as well as the discussion, in editorials, of subjects of scientific, academic and professional relevance.
The Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology is born from the Revista Brasileira de Otorrinolaringologia, of which it is the English version, created and indexed by MEDLINE in 2005. It is the official scientific publication of the Brazilian Association of Otolaryngology and Cervicofacial Surgery. Its abbreviated title is Braz J Otorhinolaryngol., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.
