HYPOTHESIS: The use of larger-diameter pistons in stapedotomy leads to better hearing outcomes compared with the use of smaller-diameter pistons. There is an interaction between stapes piston diameter and fenestration diameter.
BACKGROUND: Otosclerosis can be treated surgically by removing part of the stapes and bypassing the stapes footplate with a prosthesis. Available piston shaft diameters range between 0.3 and 0.8 mm. There has been a tendency toward the use of smaller-diameter pistons, because of a suspected decreased risk of cochlear trauma and subsequent sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) with smaller pistons. However, mathematical models, temporal bone studies, and clinical studies suggest that the use of larger-diameter pistons is associated with better hearing outcomes.
METHODS: Three fresh-frozen, non-pathologic temporal bones were harvested from human cadaveric donors. Acoustic stimuli in the form of pure tones from 250 to 8000 Hz were generated at 110 dB sound pressure level. A total of 16 frequencies in a 1/3-octave series were used. Stapes and round window velocities in response to the acoustic stimuli were measured at multiple equally spaced points covering the stapes footplate and round window using a scanning laser Doppler interferometry system. Eight sets of measurements were performed in each temporal bone: 1) normal condition (mobile stapes), 2) stapes fixation and stapedotomy followed by insertion of 3) a 0.4-mm-diameter piston in a 0.5-mm-diameter fenestration, 4) a 0.4-mm-diameter piston in a 0.7-mm-diameter fenestration, 5) a 0.4-mm-diameter piston in a 0.9-mm-diameter fenestration, 6) a 0.6-mm-diameter piston in a 0.7-mm-diameter fenestration, 7) a 0.6-mm-diameter piston in a 0.9-mm-diameter fenestration, and 8) a 0.8-mm-diameter piston in a 0.9-mm-diameter fenestration.
RESULTS: At midrange frequencies, between 500 and 4000 Hz, round window velocities increased by 2 to 3 dB when using a 0.6-mm-diameter piston compared with a 0.4-mm-diameter piston. Using a 0.8-mm-diameter piston led to a further increase in round window velocities by 2 to 4 dB.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest a modest effect of piston diameter on hearing results following stapedotomy.
