What Is Otosclerosis? Stapedectomy Surgery Explained for Patients

This educational video by Prof. Dr. Andrew J. Fishman (@AFMedico) explains otosclerosis, a condition that causes progressive hearing loss, and the stapedectomy procedure used to restore hearing. Dr. Fishman provides a clear, step-by-step explanation of the anatomy of the middle ear, how otosclerosis affects sound transmission, and the surgical technique used to replace the fixed stapes bone with a prosthesis. Designed for both patients seeking to understand their diagnosis and clinicians interested in surgical details, this video combines medical insight with practical guidance on recovery and expected outcomes.
