Compared with previous studies, laser stapedotomy with the application of either heat-memory piston prosthesis allowed an easy and minimally invasive approach with excellent short-term hearing results when the NiTiBOND prosthesis was applied.

Comparing intermediate-term hearing results of NiTiBOND and Nitinol prostheses in stapes surgery

Post-operative audiological outcomes for NiTiBOND and Nitinol were comparable, indicating clinical success, and hearing thresholds of two cohorts undergoing stapedotomy for otosclerosis with two different prostheses were analyzed.

Nitinol versus non-Nitinol prostheses in otosclerosis surgery: a meta-analysis

The results suggest that the effectiveness of Nitinol was higher than non-Nitinol prostheses, with superiority of the number of patients with ABG ≤ 10 dB, as well as a bias assessment tool developed according to Cochrane guidelines.

Early functional results using the nitibond prosthesis in stapes surgery

The NiTiBOND® prosthesis allows early results to be obtained similar to those with a manually crimped prosthesis fitted by experienced surgeons, thus reducing the learning curve in this critical step of the procedure.

Impact of surgeons’ experience and the single-shot perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis on outcome in stapedotomy

Clinical outcome regarding persisting or recurrent conductive hearing loss caused by incus necrosis and prosthesis luxation is linked to surgical performance and underlines the need for a meticulous training and supervision of less experienced surgeons performing stapes surgery.

Comparison of manually crimping and laser‐activated nitinol prosthesis in otosclerosis surgery: our experience of 98 patients

No significant difference in the hearing outcome between SMart Piston and NiTiBOND has been found, and the postoperative ABG was significantly less in the Ni TiBOND group compared to the manually crimping titanium piston prosthesis (K-Piston;Heinz Kurz GmbH Medizintechnik) group.

Review of Transcanal Endoscopic Ear Surgery (TEES) and Bioengineering for Pediatric Otologic Surgery

A significant amount of research has been conducted supporting the utility and safety profiles of TEES for otologic surgeries, and biomaterials research has also significantly improved, but more research comparing biomaterial options is needed.

Az otoscleroticus eredetű hallócsontláncolati fixatiók klinikuma.

With an adequate surgical technique, significant improvement can be achieved in the air conduction threshold, the air-bone gap may be minimalized or ceased over the speech frequencies, which significantly improves the quality of life of the patients.

KTP laser stapedotomy with a self-crimping, thermal shape memory Nitinol piston: follow-up study reporting intermediate-term hearing

An evaluation of the mid-term hearing results after the implantation of a self-crimping heat memory Nitinol piston in stapes surgery revealed that the audiometric parameters demonstrated a hearing improvement between the postoperative 12-month and average 4.4-year examinations.

Retrospective analysis of the results of implanting Nitinol pistons with heat-crimping piston loops in stapes surgery

Very good results were achieved with a new nickel–titanium prosthesis that crimps itself around the long process of the incus, thus facilitating stapes surgery and at the same time stabilizing the high quality of the results.

Retrospective Analysis of Outcomes after Stapedotomy with Implantation of a Self-Crimping Nitinol Stapes Prosthesis

Hearing results after stapedotomy with a nitinol piston prosthesis.

Data show that the nitinol prosthesis is equivalent to the platinum wire prosthesis in closing the ABG in patients with otosclerosis, which supports the continued use of this prosthesis for stapes surgery.

Clinical Evaluation of the NiTiBOND Stapes Prosthesis, an Optimized Shape Memory Alloy Design

Preliminary short-term results suggest safety and reliability for the new NiTiBOND stapes prosthesis, which provides excellent intraoperative handling and no adverse reactions were reported.

Long-term results in otosclerotic patients operated by stapedectomy or stapedotomy

Per- and postoperative complications were low in both groups, except for one patient in the stapedectomy group who experienced the serious complication of a deaf ear after surgery.

KTP‐laser stapedotomy with a self‐crimping, thermal shape memory Nitinol SMart piston: 1 year follow‐up results: how we do it

The results confirmed that cochlear implantation is an effective treatment for subjects with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome once their hearing deteriorated to the profound level and showed that the long-term speech perception results are significantly better in ears with cochLear implantation than the contralateral ear using hearing aids.

Stapedotomy versus stapedectomy.

The postoperative results in 392 otosclerotic ears were analyzed and stapedotomy with wire Teflon piston is the operation of choice for otosclerosis, since it is less traumatic to the inner ear and achieves better results than stapedectomy.
