The Current Situation and Development of Endoscopic Ear Surgery in China

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 136-143, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic ear surgery has been widely performed in China since 2015 due to the development and rapid popularization of endoscopic technology. Due to the relative shortness of the auditory meatus, only a fixed endoscope is required in many cases, rather than a motion similar to a nasal endoscope, and uncontrollable bleeding is virtually non ...

Atypical Bilateral Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Case Reports in Pediatrics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) is a rare congenital skeletal abnormality with an incidence of 1 per 100,000 births. It is typically a unilateral abnormality but can present bilaterally in 15% of PFFD cases. It is characterized by the absence of the proximal femur and shortening of the affected limb henceforth.

Comparison of Hydroxyapatite Prosthesis and Incus Interposition in Incus Defects

Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2017
Objective: Chronic otitis media most commonly causes an ossicular chain defect in incus. Different materials can be used for repair of this defect. In this study, the hydroxyapatite prosthesis, used for repair of the incus defect, was compared with the ...
