title: [Functional results following stapedectomy. A 5-year study].
abstract: Results of partial stapedectomy with the formation of small fenestra and the use of teflon piston prostheses in the period of 1980-1984 are shown. Particular attention was paid to the group of patients under 18 years of age representing 3.3% of all operated cases, as well as to patients with combined hearing loss. In both groups, functional results of surgery were very good. Of the total of 284 operated ears, there were 20 reoperations.
