title: [Hearing status after stapedectomy with preservation or cutting of stapedius tendon].
abstract: The authors analysed the influence of preservation or cutting of stapedius tendon during stapedotomy on postoperative hearing improvement. The material analysed was 110 operated ears, which were divided into two egual groups considering preservation or cutting of stapedius tendon. All operations were performed by the same surgeon using stapedotomy with tarflen prothesis. In all cases before and after operation there was performed tonal audiometry within a range from 0.5 to 4.0 kHz, speech audiometry with indication of speech reception threshold using mono-syllable test. The comparison of operation results did not show significant statistical differences between the studied groups of operated ears.
