About the clinic
Stapedectomy surgery at Hisar Intercontinental Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey may cost around $4,680 for a unilateral procedure.

About the Procedure
Stapedectomy is a microsurgical procedure to treat conductive hearing loss. The surgeon removes the stapes bone and replaces it with a prosthesis. This helps improve sound transmission to the inner ear.
