Abstract |
The stapes surgery surgical technique has now been clearly standardized, ensuring a reliable and reproducible procedure with a satisfactory success rate. The possibility of performing this surgery under local anaesthesia with sedation requires very good collaboration between surgeons and anaesthetists. The patient is informed about the various steps of the operation to ensure that he or she is reassured both before and during the procedure. Local anaesthesia with sedation constitutes an alternative in patients afraid of general anaesthesia. Sudden onset of dizziness reported by the patient during the operation after piston placement may be due to an excessively long piston, which may need to be adjusted. We describe the technique used in our centre. In the literature, there is no difference in terms of audiometric performance and dizziness between patients operated under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia.
