Stapes
Stapedioplasty, which includes stapedotomy and stapedectomy, is a surgical procedure used to address a hearing loss that is usually caused by otosclerosis. This disease can cause a conductive hearing loss as it slowly and progressively immobilizes the Stapes bone, thus hindering the transmission of sound wave vibrations to the inner ear space.

Ossiculoplasty is a surgical process wherein there is a reconstruction of the ossicular chain. The reconstruction may involve one, two, or all three of the middle ear ossicules. The goal of the reconstruction is to reestablish a pathway for the conduction of sound wave vibrations from the Tympanic Membrane to the Oval Window (at the entrance to the inner ear).
