After they provided informed consent, the patients were randomly divided into two groups: group A underwent microscopic stapedotomy, and group B, endoscopic stapedotomy. Both the groups were compared in terms of intraoperative time, surgical approach, visualization of anatomical landmarks, extent of drilling of the posterosuperior part of external auditory canal, manipulation of the facial nerve, and postoperative pain, dizziness, and hearing loss.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>A postural approach was required in 4 patients in group A. Visualization of the anatomical landmarks was better in group B. The extent of drilling of the posterosuperior part of the external auditory canal was minimal in group B, whose patients only experienced mild dizziness and low levels of pain postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Both techniques demonstrated high efficacy in improving hearing outcomes and reducing postoperative complications. Endoscopic stapedotomy offers enhanced visualization of anatomical landmarks and requires minimal drilling and minimal manipulation of the facial nerve. Moreover, the endoscopic procedure results in lower levels of postoperative pain and dizziness, as well as better cosmetic outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0045-1811252","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,4]],"date-time":"2026-03-04T05:26:46Z","timestamp":1772602006000},"page":"001-004","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Comparative Analysis of Microscopic and Endoscopic Stapedotomy: A Prospective Study"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Ishi","family":"Jain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Subharti Medical College, Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5045-7078","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pradeep Singh","family":"Rawat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Subharti Medical College, Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1201\/b15118","volume-title":"Scott- Brown's Otorhinolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery 7th ed","author":"M Gleeson","year":"2008"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"626","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599821990669","article-title":"Systematic review and meta-analysis of endoscopic vs microscopic stapes surgery for stapes fixation","volume":"165","author":"S Ho","year":"2021","journal-title":"Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"285","DOI":"10.18203\/issn.2454-5929.ijohns20171179","article-title":"Comparative study between microscopic and endoscopic stapes surgery","volume":"3","author":"B Harikumar","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int J Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Surg"},{"issue":"10","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1460","DOI":"10.1097\/MAO0000000000003298","article-title":"Endoscopic versus microscopic stapedotomy: a single-blinded randomized control trial","volume":"42","author":"C J Fan","year":"2021","journal-title":"Otol Neurotol"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"415","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otc.2017.11.011","article-title":"Endoscopic stapes surgery","volume":"51","author":"B Isaacson","year":"2018","journal-title":"Otolaryngol Clin North Am"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1547","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-013-2420-5","article-title":"Endoscopic transcanal stapedotomy: how I do it","volume":"270","author":"L Migirov","year":"2013","journal-title":"Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"266","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.24144","article-title":"Comparison between endoscopic and microscopic stapes surgery","volume":"124","author":"H Kojima","year":"2014","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"issue":"12","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2905","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-018-5166-2","article-title":"Does endoscopic stapedotomy increase hearing restoration rates comparing to microscopic?
