Abstract
Reparative granuloma of the oval window is an uncommon complication of stapes surgery, which usually develops within one to six weeks after operation and causes a sudden hearing loss and disturbance of balance. We report 2 cases of post-stapedectomy reparative granuloma that developed during the tenure of senior surgeon (AM).
Keywords: Reparative granuloma, Stapes surgery induced granulation tissue, Post-stapedectomy granuloma
