Polyethylene Sponge Total Ossicular Replacement Prosthesis: A Histopathologic Study
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1982The histopathologic findings of a functioning high-density polyethylene sponge (Plastipore) total ossicular replacement prosthesis in a patient who died of unrelated causes are reported herein. The lack of inflammatory cell infiltration of foreign-body giant cells within, or adjacent to, the prosthesis helps substantiate the safety and efficacy of ...

Ossicular Replacement With Self-stabilizing Presculptured Homologous Cartilage
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1982The use of self-stabilizing, alloplastic ossicular replacement prostheses introduced by Shea and Homsy has improved postsurgical hearing results in patients with major ossicular defects. While hearing results after total and partial ossicular replacement are good, many authors have reported high rates of extrusion of these alloplastic materials.

Polyethylene Sponge Total Ossicular Replacement Prosthesis: A Histopathologic Study
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1984To the Editor —.In the December 1982Archives, Postma and Shea 1 reported on a high-density polyethylene sponge (Plastipore) total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) that was studied histologically 15 months after surgery. They stated specifically: "The plastipore TORP was enveloped by, and fitted with, an interlacing network of fibrous tissue ...

Hydroxylapatite Ossicular Replacement Prostheses: A Four‐Year Experience
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1992Between 1987 and 1991, I have used 215 hydroxylapatite middle ear implants, in various styles, for hearing reconstruction. The first such implants were composed entirely of hydroxylapatite. Because of intraoperative difficulties in shaping and trimming these prostheses, hybrid prostheses using Plasti‐Pore were developed.

Although much progress has been achieved in the functional restoration of ears damaged by chronic suppurative otitis media since the introduction of tympanoplasty 30 years ago, adequate hearing improvements in ears with loss of the stapedial arch have been the most elusive.

Ossiculoplasty failure with ceramic ossicular replacement prosthesis.
ORL; journal for oto-rhino-laryngology and its related specialties, 1987The stability of ceramic ossicular replacement prosthesis (CORP) in the middle ear was evaluated in 162 ears that had been followed for more than 18 months. The CORP extruded from 8 ears (4.9%) and was dislocated in 6 ears (3.7%). These failures were considered to be due mainly to postoperative tubal dysfunction and disease recurrence.
