ABSTRACT
Today, in domestic and foreign literature, there exist numerous works related to hearing improvement in the post-surgical period and the reduction of the bone-air gap, which has proven rather high efficacy of such otosclerosis treatment method as piston stapedoplasty. However, little attention has been paid to the problem of the inner air structures traumatization and the associated cochlear and vestibular disorders. We have studied a group of 12 patients aged from 33 to 65 years, 4 male and 8 female patients. All the patients underwent piston stapedoplasty with a Teflon prosthesis Medtronic Causse Loop Piston. The objective of this study was to establish the correlation between the disorder of cochlear and vestibular function in the early postoperative period. Based on the statistical analysis using the Pearson criterion, it was found that the relation between these parameters is statistically significant (p = 0.018850). The data obtained allow prescribing early and adequate therapy for improvement of surgery results based on vertigo assessment the in patients on the 1st day after surgery.
