Background. A stapedectomy or stapedotomy is known as the best treatment option for patients with otosclerosis. Otosclerosis is a primary disease of the bony labyrinth capsule, which is characterized by one or more localized foci, where bone deposition occurs repeatedly. The best and most effective treatment option is a stapedectomy or stapedotomy. Objectives. The present study evaluated the short-term hearing results in patients with otosclerosis after primary stapes surgery. Material and methods. In this retrospective study, the short-term hearing results of all patients with otosclerosis after a primary stapedotomy admitted to the Ahvaz Emam hospital from 2007 to 2017 was evaluated. Improvement in hearing was evaluated according to the pre- and post-audiometry results. Air Conduction (AC), Bone Conduction (BC) and Air-Bone Gap (ABG) thresholds were recorded at 500, 1 000, 2 000 and 4 000 Hz. SPSS software (Version 22.0) was used for statistical analysis. Results. Of the 413 cases, 231 (55.93%) and 182 (44.07%) were females and males, respectively. The mean age of patients was 39.06 ± 11.29 years. The disease in 131 (31.72%) was bilateral. The mean ABG in 341 patients (82.63%) ≤ 10 dB and in 52 patients (12.47%) was 10–20 dB. Conclusions. The results of the study showed that a primary stapedotomy is a successful and effective way to improve short-term hearing results in adults with otosclerosis.
