A small series of 14 post-stapedectomy fistulae illustrates the varied aetiology. The long-term competence of the oval window seal may be ensured by making a small hole in the footplate. Contraction of ageing fibrous tissue contributes to late stapedectomy failures. Long-term follow-up is important, for any deterioration in hearing after stapedectomy may result from a perilymph leak.
一小系列14例镫骨切除术后瘘管病例说明了病因的多样性。通过在镫骨足板上开一个小孔，可以确保卵圆窗密封的长期有效性。老化纤维组织的收缩会导致镫骨切除术后晚期失败。长期随访很重要，因为镫骨切除术后听力的任何恶化都可能是由于外淋巴漏引起的。
