Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure in which the stapes bone is removed from the middle ear and replaced with a prosthesis.
If the stapes footplate is fixed in position, rather than being normally mobile, the result is a conductive hearing loss. There are two major causes of stapes fixation. The first is a disease process of abnormal mineralization of the temporal bone called otosclerosis. The second is a congenital malformation of the stapes.
