Abstract:

Stapedectomy is a technically complex procedure with well-defined success outcomes (air-bone gap <10 dB) (Luryi; Saerens; Mann) Stapedectomy remains a key indicator procedure per ACGME Despite decreasing incidence of otosclerosis (Marinelli) Previously published survey data suggests few general otolaryngologists perform stapes surgery routinely in practice Compare procedural productivity of residency programs and general otolaryngologists to evaluate the degree to which general ENTs routinely perform stapedectomy
