Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Stapedectomy/ Stapes Surgery. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Stapedectomy, also called stapes surgery, is a microsurgical procedure performed to restore hearing in patients whose hearing loss is caused by a fixed or immobile stapes bone — most commonly due to a condition called otosclerosis. The stapes is the smallest bone in the body and sits at the entrance to the inner ear; when it becomes locked in place by abnormal bone growth, sound can no longer travel efficiently from the eardrum to the inner ear. During the procedure, the surgeon accesses the middle ear through the ear canal without any external incision, removes or opens the fixed stapes bone, and places a tiny prosthesis — usually titanium or Teflon — to restore the mechanical sound pathway. The more commonly performed variation, stapedotomy, involves making a small precise opening in the stapes footplate rather than removing it entirely. Most patients are discharged the same day and notice meaningful hearing improvement within the first few weeks once post-operative swelling settles.
A small precise opening is made in the stapes footplate and a piston prosthesis is inserted through it — the most widely performed technique, with minimal disturbance to the inner ear.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $400
Typical tests for this variant: Pure-tone audiometry (both ears), Speech audiometry, Tympanometry and acoustic reflex testing, CBC, Blood sugar (fasting), PT/INR. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $2,500 – $3,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~1 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~3 days recommended
Total stay: approx 6 days
The entire stapes footplate is removed, a tissue graft is placed over the oval window opening, and a prosthesis is positioned on top — used when the footplate is fragile or floating.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $400
Typical tests for this variant: Pure-tone audiometry (both ears), Speech audiometry, Tympanometry and acoustic reflex testing, CBC, Blood sugar (fasting), PT/INR, High-resolution CT scan of temporal bones (if clinically indicated). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $2,500 – $3,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~1 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~3 days recommended
Total stay: approx 6 days
A CO₂ or KTP laser is used to create a precise, no-touch opening in the stapes footplate, minimising mechanical pressure on the inner ear before the piston prosthesis is placed.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $400
Typical tests for this variant: Pure-tone audiometry (both ears), Speech audiometry, Tympanometry and acoustic reflex testing, CBC, Blood sugar (fasting), PT/INR, High-resolution CT scan of temporal bones (if clinically indicated). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,000 – $4,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~1 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~3 days recommended
Total stay: approx 6 days
