Abstract in English
Aim:
To evaluate the hearing changes following stapedotomy surgery,
and to investigate the potential effects of the age and sex of the
patients on air-bone gap closure.
Material and Methods:
80 patients diagnosed with otosclerosis and undergone stapedotomy surgery, were involved in this study. The hearing changes were evaluated by comparing the means of air and bone conductive measurements at 250-500-1000-2000 and 4000 Hz before and after surgery. In addition, the air-bone gap closure was determined. Data was analysed statistically using t-student and Anova tests (p=0.05).
Results:
There was a statistically significant difference in air conductive
measurements before and after surgery (p<0.001), whilst the bone
conductive values showed no differences. The mean of air-bone
closure in the current study was 28.6dB.
