Abstract

No consensus exists among surgeons about how much of the footplate to remove in stapes surgery. By comparing ideal cases with identical surgical techniques, it may be possible to select an optimal amount of the stapes footplate to remove. This article details the evolution of techniques of stapedectomy from the total stapedectomy to the small fenestra stapedectomy.
