Stapedectomy – Stork Hospital, Hyderabad
Advanced Middle Ear Surgery for Lasting Hearing Improvement
Precision middle ear surgery to replace the stapes bone with a prosthesis, restoring hearing and overcoming otosclerosis.
A stapedectomy is a precision ear surgery that involves replacing the stapes bone in the middle ear with a miniature prosthesis to restore sound conduction. This procedure is most commonly used to treat otosclerosis, a condition where abnormal bone formation around the stapes limits its movement, leading to gradual hearing loss. At Stork Multispecialty Hospital, Hyderabad, our ENT team combines specialized surgical skill with modern microsurgical technology to help patients regain better hearing. We focus on safety, accuracy, and a smooth recovery experience for both adult and older patients.
