Abstract :
[en] Purpose of Review: This review summarized the existing literature on the stapes surgery for patients with a preoperative air bone gap (ABG) under 30 dB. Recent Findings: Early surgery for otosclerosis appears to give good results without increasing the risks of complications, but the topic is still controverted. Summary: Stapes surgeries for patients with a preoperative ABG lower than the classical 30 dB are more common today and some studies support this change in paradigm. The risk/benefit balance needs to be discussed with the patients.
