Realities in ossiculoplasty

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1991
AbstractThe results of ossiculoplasty are frequently reported in terms of closure of the air-bone gap. This parameter is a reliable indicator of the degree of technical success, and is useful in comparing different materials and types of reconstructions.

Ossiculoplasty in Otosclerosis

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1960
A survey is given of the authors' experience gained in ossiculoplasty operations by the method of Hall & Rytzner (and modified techniques). These operations were carried out on a number of patients in whom ordinary stapediolysis could not be performed because of fracture of the stapedial crura.

Autograft Ossiculoplasty in Cholesteatoma

ORL, 1992
Although using autogenous ossicles in reconstruction offers stable hearing results with good tendency for healing and minimal extrusion, their use in cholesteatomatous ears has been criticized for the possibility of progressive osteitis, bone resorption and cholesteatoma recurrence.

Titanium versus autograft ossiculoplasty

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2009
In this comparative series, hearing results were superior with titanium compared with autograft ossiculoplasty in the absence of a stapes superstructure. However, in the presence of a stapes superstructure, titanium ossiculoplasties gave superior results to autografts only when comparing an air-bone gap of < 10 dB.To compare the hearing outcomes of ...

Tympanoplasty in Korea (ossiculoplasty)

Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 1977
Three hundred and ninety three cases of ossicular reconstruction are presented. In the most favourable cases with both malleus handle and stapes present, this presents a closure of the air-bone gap to within 20 dB better than 80%. With connective tissue, underlay and fixation technique and staging are all important aspects of ossicular chain repair ...

Pediatric ossiculoplasty: optimizing outcomes

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head & Neck Surgery, 2019
Purpose of review Despite years of research, pediatric ossiculoplasty remains a challenging surgery with numerous variables factoring into successful outcomes. The aim of this review is to summarize recent publications on surgical technique, timing, and reconstruction materials. Recent findings

Experimental Models Of Ossiculoplasty

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1994
Measurement of the acoustic properties of middle ear prostheses in an appropriate model prior to insertion in humans should be part of the routine of the prosthesis development and testing process, but it is not. This article describes a human temporal bone model suitable for such testing and discusses the results of several commonly used prostheses ...
