Abstract | OBJECTIVES: BACKGROUND: METHOD: Retrospective analysis of 48 patients after revision stapes surgery was done over a period of 4 years (2005-2008). Improvement of the hearing and the reasons of a previous surgery failure were studied. RESULTS: RESULTS were compared to the other studies. The main reason of the failed surgery was adhesions and dislocation of the prosthesis. The mean postoperative air-bone gap was 12.0 dB. A mean postoperative air-bone gap closure within 10 dB occurred in 24 cases (55.8 %), between 11-20 dB occurred in 11 cases (25.6 %) and above 20 dB in 8 cases (18.6 %). The original prosthesis was replaced with a new one in 41 (95.3 %) cases. In 2 cases (4.7 %), previous prostheses were left in place and fixed by a ionomer glass cement to the long process of incus. CONCLUSION:
