ABSTRACT
Otosclerosis is a dominant autosomic disease, primary of the laberintic capsule, with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity, having preference for the female gender, being the latter probably secondary to endocrinologic factors.1% of the white population presents clinical symptoms of otosclerosis, 80 % have bilateral disease. The principal symptoms of the disease are slow, insidious and progressive hearing loss. The audiomeric study shows mainly a conductive hearing loss, being this the principal diagnostic parameter. Treatment is directed to recover hearing, and surgery is the election treatment for otosclerosis. We studied 343 patients diagnose with otosclerosis in which stapedectomy was performed at the Hospital Regional “1o. de Octubre”, ISSSTE, in the period from January 1995 and December 2004. The results were based on the individual file analysis and the audiometric studies. The audiometric results found were: complete closure of the air bone gap in 332 (96.7%) of operated ears, in 6 was less than 25 dB (1.74%). We found that there was not signifiative difference between hemiplatinectomy or complete platinectomy technique.REFERENCES
