Stapedectomy. A non-personal series.
An attempt has been made to indicate from St. Thomas' Hospital what the likely outcome of stapedectomy would be when performed by a cross-section of the speciality at differing levels of training, and to indicate the complications encountered at this centre. Included in the review is a comparison of the results from polythene struct and vein graft replacement and piston replacement.
