what are some of the complications involved?
Causes fibrosis-related damage to the base of the bone, or obliterative otosclerosis, resulting in obliteration of the base.
Clinical relevance
Surgery may be complicated by a persistent stapedial artery, fibrosis-related damage to the base of the bone, or obliterative otosclerosis, resulting in obliteration of the base.
what are the 3 smallest bones in the human body Strapes is one of them what is the size of this above bone? Roughly 3 x 2.5mm which part of the body is this located? Middle ear of humans besides the human, is this bony structure present in other living species in the animal kingdom? It is one of three ossicles in mammals, in non-mammalian four-legged animals its homologous form is called the columella what are the functions this bony structure serves? It transmits sound vibrations from the incus to the oval window, a membrane-covered opening to the inner ear. are there any variations of this bony structure? It appears to be relatively constant in size in different ethnic groups can this bony structure get affected or impaired? Yes, its impairment causes conductive hearing loss is there any remedy to solve this? Two common treatments are stapedectomy and stapedotomy how is the first treatment that you mentioned - carried out? It is the surgical removal of the stapes and replacement with an artificial prosthesis
There are risks of a perilymphatic gusher or a perilymph fistula along with risks of hearing damage. Surgery may be complicated by a persistent stapedial artery, fibrosis-related damage to the base of the bone, or obliterative otosclerosis, resulting in obliteration of the base Surgery may be complicated by a persistent stapedial artery, fibrosis-related damage to the base of the bone, or obliterative otosclerosis, resulting in obliteration of the base.

Complications Clinical relevance Clinical relevance
When a stapedectomy is done in a middle ear with a congenitally fixed footplate, the results may be excellent but the risk of hearing damage is greater than when the stapes bone is removed and replaced (for otosclerosis). This is primarily due to the risk of additional anomalies being present in the congenitally abnormal ear. If high pressure within the fluid compartment that lies just below the stapes footplate exists, then a perilymphatic gusher may occur when the stapes is removed. Even without immediate complications during surgery, there is always concern of a perilymph fistula forming postoperatively. Surgery may be complicated by a persistent stapedial artery, fibrosis-related damage to the base of the bone, or obliterative otosclerosis, resulting in obliteration of the base.
