Minimally Invasive Intraoperative Laser Vibrometry (MIVIB)-A Peroperative Method to Measure Fixation of the Ossicular Chain. [PDF]
Laryngoscope Investig OtolaryngolAn objective assessment of the ossicular chain with laser vibrometry would likely improve the result of ossiculoplasty. MIVIB provides an objective assessment of the ossicular chain to identify specific fixations and therefore assist the surgeon in improving surgical outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Conductive hearing loss requires the surgeon to evaluate
