Comparison of Short-Term Hearing Outcome in Stapedotomy Using either Vein or Fat (Adipose Tissue) as Sealing Material.

All patients in the study population had an improvement in AC thresholds at all frequencies, that is, at 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000 Hz, and 80% ( n = 28) of these patients achieved an ABG closure < 10 dB postoperatively, which is considered highly significant according to the AAO-HNS guidelines, and 20% ( n = 7) achieved a closure between 10 and 20 dB.
