Abstract

BACKGROUND: We present a new method of diode laser stapedoplasty - high-power short-pulse mode with preliminary carbonization of the waveguide and a single spot of laser ablation.

AIMS/OBJECTIVE: The aim of our research is the safety evaluation of presented mode 0.98 µm diode laser cochleostomy in guinea pigs.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Guinea pigs (

RESULTS: To evaluate the negative impact of laser energy on OHCs and auditory function, we analyzed DPOAE amplitudes for 6400 and 8000 Hz since high frequency. The paired Student's

CONCLUSION AND SIGNIFICANCE: Our study confirms that the proposed method of high-power short pulse diode laser stapedotomy is safe for the inner ear. Further prospective and randomized clinical trials are required to evaluate the possible benefits of this method.

Keywords: Stapes surgery; diode laser 980 nm; guinea pig
