Short-process incudo-stapedioplasty in congenital ear malformation. [PDF]
We report a novel surgical technique for stapes surgery in a patient with ear malformation and facial nerve anomaly, accompanied by a surgical video. The technique involved anchoring a Teflon wire piston to the short process of the incus. Postoperatively, the patient exhibited acceptable hearing improvement, with a 30 dB gain.

Different cell populations are inducible by BMP-2 covalently covered Bioverit® II implants in rabbit subcutis and middle ear [PDF]
To optimize the function of implants the formation of surrounding connective tissue should be adapted in dependence to the mechanical conditions. Therefore, with nanostructured silica coated Bioverit® II implants were only partly reacted with recombinant

Plester’s Angled Prosthesis for Ossicular Chain Reconstruction [PDF]
Reconstruction of a defect of the long process of the incus by means of bone chips, cartilage grafts or other material do not give satisfactory long term results. Plester developed therefore an angled prosthesis to reconstruct the defect. It consists of a cross-slit gold bell which is connected with a double band titanium cuff by a tiny gold wire.
