Popis:	Abstract Objective The advantages of laser stapedotomy are less trauma and more precise and minimally invasive techniques; however, the potential risk of overheating from the laser combined with the endoscope tip must be considered. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of diode lasers for endoscopic stapes surgery. Methods A retrospective review of 56 patients with otosclerosis who underwent primary endoscopic stapedotomy with a diode laser from 2017 to 2020 was conducted. Demographic data, intraoperative findings, preoperative and postoperative audiological assessments, and postoperative complications were analyzed. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative bone conduction thresholds. The mean postoperative air‐bone gap (ABG) improved significantly compared to the preoperative ABG (4.07 vs. 35.43 dB, p
