Stapedoplasty (prosthesis not included)

excluding prosthesis cost

€1200

Stapedoplasty is a microsurgical procedure used to treat otosclerosis, when abnormal bone growth around the stapes limits its movement and causes progressive hearing loss. During the operation, the affected stapes is replaced with a prosthesis so that sound can move through the middle ear more effectively.

The listed price covers the surgery itself. The cost of the prosthesis is calculated separately.

Stapedoplasty is recommended if you have:

  • progressive conductive hearing loss confirmed by audiometry together with a diagnosis of otosclerosis based on the audiogram, tympanogram, and, when needed, CT findings;
  • insufficient benefit from a hearing aid or a preference for surgical treatment.

How to prepare for stapedoplasty?

First step

Follow the fasting instructions provided by the anesthesiologist.

Second step

Tell your doctor about all allergies, medications, and any previous experience with anesthesia.

Third step

Complete the full preoperative work-up, including audiometry, tympanometry, and CT if required.

What happens during surgery?

reaches the middle ear through the ear canal with the help of an operating microscope, so there are no external scars;

partially or completely removes the immobilized stapes as part of a stapedotomy or stapedectomy;

creates a small opening in the oval window and inserts a precisely fitted prosthesis;

checks the position of the prosthesis and the integrity of the ossicular chain.

The procedure usually takes 45 to 90 minutes.

What to expect after surgery?

recovers in the day hospital or overnight unit;

receives strict instructions on ear protection, including avoiding nose blowing, coughing with the mouth closed, or any action that increases ear pressure;

is informed that hearing improves gradually and is usually assessed fully about 3 months after surgery;

receives information about postoperative follow-up and temporary restrictions such as flying or diving.

Stapedoplasty is one of the most effective ways to treat hearing loss caused by otosclerosis and in many cases leads to a major improvement in hearing quality.
