Question

which of the following surgical procedures is the treatment for otosclerosis?
a myringotomy
b stapedectomy
c cochlear implant
d otoscopy

Explanation:

Ot osclerosis is a condition where there is abnormal bone growth in the middle ear, often affecting the stapes bone. Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure where the fixed stapes bone is removed and replaced with a prosthesis. Myringotomy is for ear infections (to drain fluid from the middle ear). Cochlear implant is for severe - to - profound sensorineural hearing loss. Otoscopy is a diagnostic procedure (using an otoscope to look into the ear canal and eardrum), not a treatment for ot osclerosis.

Answer:

B. stapedectomy
