To investigate how the anatomical configuration of the oval window region (OWR) influences the management of the chorda tympani (ChT) and the curetting of adjacent bony structures, in a setting of patients undergoing endoscopic stapes surgery (EStS); to assess the incidence of early and late post-operative dysgeusia and to identify anatomical and surgical factors influencing taste function after EStS. Surgical video recordings of 48 patients undergoing EStS for otosclerosis between January 2019 and July 2020 were retrospectively revised, to classify the anatomical variability of selected middle ear structures and the management strategies for the ChT. Clinical records of included patients were reviewed for subjective early and late post-operative taste impairment using a 5-point Likert-scale. The most common configuration of the OWR was type III. The extension of the bony curettage resulted inversely proportional to the exposure of the OWR. The long-term rate of preserved post-operative taste function was 85%. Displacement of the ChT was necessary in 43/48 cases (90%), mostly medially (36/48, 75%). Bone curetting during EStS does not correlate with post-operative taste impairment. Despite 100% ChT preservation rate, dysgeusia may occur in a minority of patients, with no apparent relationship to anatomical variability or intraoperative management of the ChT. The use of CO laser could have a role in increasing the risk of post-operative dysgeusia after EStS. Bone curetting during EStS does not correlate with post-operative taste impairment.
