Abstract
The latest oto-surgery has gradually become to require accuracy and now is the time for it that necessary equipments for microsurgery and advanced capacity of surgical operations are absolutely essential. After stapes mobilization against otosclerosis, adding historical reviews on stapes fenestration, I have referred to the result of after -operation also stating the cases of my examinations. Patients of otosclerosis have been comparatively few, however, these treatments have obtained good results in our country as well.
Besides stapes mobilization and stapes fenestration, adding stapes prosthesis, I haveincluded these in a concept of stapes surgery. Stapes prosthesis among these, is frequently indispensable to the case of tympanoplasty of chronic suppurative otitis media which abounds especially in our country. At present, we are under another examination on a method by polyethylene tube (one by schea). There are many unsuccessful cases for stapes prosthesis now, but I believe that a study toward this way is especially essential.
I state that how stapes surgery has an important influence upon therapeutic results of after-operations of otosclerosis and chronic otitis media of today.
