Description
Dilshan Rajan, Sebahattin Cureoglu, Meredith Adams, and Rafael Monsanto trace in a 2024 study the arc of stapes surgery for otosclerosis through bone pathology. The disease stiffens the tiny stapes bone and dulls hearing over time. Surgical fixes evolved over a century, each leaving marks in donor bones.
Nine temporal bones from two labs were read for surgical traces and outcomes. Four techniques are covered, from early mobilization to modern stapedotomy. One success and one complication case anchor each technique in the set. Early methods gave brief, limited gains with heavy complication loads in the bones. Full stapes removal marked the big step up in lasting results.
