title: [Granuloma of the oval window after stapedectomy].
abstract: A case report is presented of a female patient who underwent stapedotomy with bad functional results Reoperation revealed a dislocated prosthesis and there was no successful hearing. Besides conduction deafness perceptive deafness occurred as well. The second reoperation disclosed reparative granuloma around the prosthesis, while histological analysis showed foreign-body granuloma.
