Surgical Impact of Coupling an Active Middle Ear Implant to Short Incus Process.

Otology and Neurotology, 2018
INTRODUCTION Since 1996 the active middle-ear implant Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) is used to treat mild-to-severe sensorineural hearing losses. The former standard surgical approach for incus vibroplasty included a mastoidectomy and a posterior tympanotomy,

Incus Interposition Techniques

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1973
This report describes a technique of incus interposition which has resulted in a closure of air-bone gaps from 30 dB to 15 dB or less in 69.4% of 216 ears, which have been followed for two to five years after surgery. An analysis of a subgroup of preoperative near normal hearing ears revealed no significant increased postoperative hearing loss, while ...

Otosclerosis of the Incus

Otology & Neurotology, 2007
To report a case of a patient with otosclerosis of the incus.A 61-year-old woman with a progressive hearing loss on her left ear and a computed tomographic scan of the temporal bone revealing an expansible lesion of the incus.The ossicle was removed by using a transtympanomastoid approach; the ossicular chain was reconstructed using a titanium partial ...

Evaluation of Artificial Fixation of the Incus and Malleus With Minimally Invasive Intraoperative Laser Vibrometry (MIVIB) in a Temporal Bone Model.

Otology and Neurotology, 2019
BACKGROUND A significant number of adults suffer from conductive hearing loss due to chronic otitis media, otosclerosis, or other pathologies. An objective measurement of ossicular mobility is needed to avoid unnecessarily invasive middle ear surgery and

Incus Necrosis After Irradiation

Otology & Neurotology, 2013
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the temporal bone is a rare, late complication of radiotherapy to the temporal bone region for head and neck or skull base tumours. ORN can occur as a localized or a diffuse type, according to the extension of the affected temporal bone.

Management of incus dislocation by physiological repositioning of the incus

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2002
Data have been collected prospectively from 11 patients (12 affected ears) with traumatic disruption of the ossicular chain. Isolated dislocation of the incus is the most common finding in our cases, but two had stapes arch features and two had fractures of the tympanic bone. The most common cause of the injuries was a road traffic accident.

The INCUS Mission

2022
<p>The INvestigation of Convective UpdraftS (INCUS) is a recently selected NASA Earth Ventures Mission. The overarching goal of INCUS is to enhance our understanding of why, when and where tropical convective storms form, and why only some storms produce extreme weather.

Incus Repositioning in Dogs

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1966
WHEN ABSENCE of the distal portion of the long process of the incus causes discontinuity of the ossicular chain, functional continuity may be reestablished by repositioning of the incus. This is accomplished by removing the incus and placing it between the manubrium of the malleus and the head of the stapes.

Incus reposition: Goblet prosthesis

The Laryngoscope, 1980
AbstractA stainless steel goblet shaped prosthesis is used to attach the repositioned incus to the stapes. A two year follow‐up was made of the first 116 patients in which the prosthesis was used for ossicular reconstruction.The incidence of extrusion and ankylosis is diminished, and 75% of all cases had closure within 10 db.
