Abstract

The article focuses on the surgical treatment of the patients with the new-onset cochlear form of otosclerosis, and the patients, in which, according to the tonal threshold audiometry, a significant sensorineural hearing loss had occurred after stapedotomy. This article provides an algorithm of differential diagnostic of the primary (true) and the secondary (false) sensorineural hearing loss, comprising the sensorineural hearing loss component revealed in the patients with the cochlear form of otosclerosis. The authors present detailed description of the method of stapedectomy with substitution of a part of perilymph with physiological saline solution, providing its theoretical substantiation and the preliminary functional results of the surgery.
