Predictable prosthesis length on a high-resolution CT scan before a stapedotomy

ConclusionHRCT is a valuable tool to predict preoperatively the length of the stapedotomy prosthesis. Moreover, it might be helpful to identify a potential prolapsed facial nerve, to confirm the diagnosis of otosclerosis and to rule out other abnormalities. Ultimately, it may optimize the stapedotomy procedure planning.
