PURPOSE To compare a Teflon prosthesis to a piston-type wire/Teflon prosthesis assessing auditory results post-Stapedectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a randomized controlled blinded clinical study from June 2003 to August 2004 at the Otorhinolaryngology, and Head and Neck Surgical Wards at the highly specialized medical unit of "La Raza" General Hospital National Medical Cen ter in M...

We conducted a retrospective study to compare poststapedectomy hearing gain in study-eligible patients who had received a Teflon (fluoroplastic ASTM F 754) prosthesis (study group; n = 76) with hearing gain achieved in a matched group (by age, sex, and degree of hypoacusis) of patients who had received a Schuknecht-type wire/Teflon prosthesis (control group; n = 70). All procedures had been per...

UNLABELLED In otosclerosis patients the most common procedure followed at Otosurgical Dept. Medical University of Lodz is stapedotomy with insertion of teflon-piston prosthesis. When surgery is finished a whisper hearing test is done from the 1 meter distance for brief intraoperative hearing improvement assessment. There is a number of patient who report subjective intraoperative hearing improv...
