The primary use for the laser in otosclerosis surgery is to create a stapes footplate fenestration that obviates the need for mechanical footplate removal. Experimental studies that evaluate the potential safety of visible (argon and potassium-titanyl-phosphate [KTP]) and invisible (CO2) light laser systems in stapes surgery report conflicting results. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical safety and efficacy of the CO2 and argon laser systems when used for primary laser stapedotomy.
