We studied 134 ears with clinical otosclerosis operated on from 1984 to 2000, focusing on clinical features and hearing improvement. Male patients numbered 48 (53 ears) and female 73 (82 ears). The male to female ratio was 1 : 1.5. Small fenestra stapedectomy was conducted on 118 ears, partial stapedectomy on 11 and total stapedectomy on 5. Some 97% of operations were successful based on the guideline in reporting hearing results in middle ear and mastoid surgery (2000). We feel that a guideline is needed in stapes surgery. No serious complications were seen.
