Abstract

The results of a first series of fifty stapedectomies, using newly adopted ‘Fisch stapedotomy technique’ are presented and contrasted with ‘world results’ and results of leading otologists.

The essential points in the evolution of stapes surgery are outlined.

In the light of the small number of deaf otosclerotics the philosophy of who should be performing stapes surgery and who should be trained to perform it, is discussed.

The title ‘Collective Stapedectomy’ denotes personal system of collecting patients from the waiting list in batches and operating on each stapedectomy batch in consecutive fashion.
