How we do it: ionomeric cement to attach the stapes prosthesis to the long process of the incus
2005
Keypoints
•
The successful use of glass–ionomeric cement in primary stapes surgery for attachment of the wire loop of the stapes prosthesis to the long process of the incus is reported.
•
Early hearing outcomes were similar in patients where cement was used for stapes prosthesis attachment compared with those with standard wire crimping technique.
•
Use of glass–ionomeric cement to attach the stapes prosthesis to the incus may prevent stapes prosthesis displacement and loosening.
•
This technique may decrease rates of revision stapes surgery and allow the safe use of magnetic resonance image scanning.
