Teaching stapes surgery.

Full Abstract

This paper is a review of concepts and methods presented as a tribute to a great pioneer and teacher, Harold Frederic Schuknecht. His book entitled Stapedectomy, published in 1971, is based on past experience of '6,200 stapedectomy operations over a period of 13 years' and on experience gained from teaching the procedure to numerous residents and fellows. His concepts are still valid and represent a solid base for teachers and students of this elegant but precarious procedure.
