Auditory outcomes and predictors following ossiculoplasty in cholesteatoma surgery: a retrospective analysis [PDF]
IntroductionMiddle ear cholesteatoma causes bone/ossicular erosion. This study aimed to analyze auditory outcomes after ossiculoplasty in cholesteatoma surgery and to identify predictors of hearing outcomes related to middle ear or surgery.MethodsA ...

“Tumulus” stabilization of a total ossicular replacement prosthesis
Functional failure of total ossicular replacement prostheses (TORP) is often due to secondary displacement, ranging from simple subluxation to prosthesis extrusion following recurrence of severe tympanic membrane retraction. Several surgical techniques have been proposed to stabilize a TORP, mostly using superimposed non-organic or resorbable ...

Comparison of Manual Versus Robot-Assisted Piston Prosthesis Placement and Crimping in a 3D-Printed Temporal Bone Model. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives To reduce operator‐dependent variability and improve surgical precision, robot‐assisted piston prosthesis placement and crimping during otosclerosis surgery may represent a promising approach. However, dedicated microsurgical forceps for this application are not yet available in clinical practice.

A comparison of sound transmission of middle ear prostheses manufactured via SLM [PDF]
Middle ear surgeries involve Total Ossicular Replacement Prosthesis (TORP) or Partial Ossicular Replacement Prosthesis, where all or some of the three ossicle bones are replaced. Current prostheses are dissimilar to the natural ossicles in geometry, size

Malleostapedotomy in Patients With Stapes Fixation: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
This systematic review analyses the current evidence on malleostapedotomy as a primary or revision procedure in patients with stapes fixation. Twenty‐five studies comprising 632 operated ears were included. Malleostapedotomy proved to be a safe and effective alternative to incus‐anchoring stapedoplasty, with favorable hearing outcomes and a low ...

Mesna in Otologic Surgery: Efficacy and Safety-A Scoping Review. [PDF]
PRISMA flow diagram indicating the process of systematic inclusion and exclusion of articles. ABSTRACT Objective Mesna (Sodium 2‐mercaptoethanesulfonate) is widely used as a mucolytic agent and uroprotective agent. Recently, its disulfide bond‐breaking property has been applied in otologic surgery to facilitate safer dissection of cholesteatoma and ...

Cartilage Ossiculoplasty; a Comparative Study Between Single Versus Double Cartilage Block Techniques [PDF]
Background: In a condition with absence of autologous material or in functional failure, ossicular prosthesis was subsequently developed. The role of this prosthesis is to transmit the sound waves from the tympanic membrane to the stapes head, either ...
