Role of Pathogens in Ossicular Prosthesis Problems [PDF]
ObjectiveMicrobial biofilms are commonly found on ossicular chain reconstruction prostheses (ORPs). They have been implicated as a cause of suboptimal hearing outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine which middle ear pathogens might be involved with ORP biofilms and ORP problems, such as scarring or extrusion.MethodORPs were explanted at ...
