Introduction: Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure which replaces the stirrup, by Teflon or a metal prosthesis. It is indicated especially in cases of conductive hearing loss as a result of otosclerosis. It has been shown, in recent decades, as a good therapeutic option considering its low morbidity and high success rate. It can, however progress with some complications already described such as dislocation of the prosthesis, changes in taste, facial paralysis, vertigo, total extrusion of the prosthesis, tinnitus, and tympanic membrane perforation.
