Short-process incudo-stapedioplasty in congenital ear malformation. [PDF]
We report a novel surgical technique for stapes surgery in a patient with ear malformation and facial nerve anomaly, accompanied by a surgical video. The technique involved anchoring a Teflon wire piston to the short process of the incus. Postoperatively, the patient exhibited acceptable hearing improvement, with a 30 dB gain.

Optical Coherence Tomography for the Diagnosis and Evaluation of Human Otitis Media [PDF]
We report the application of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to the diagnosis and evaluation of otitis media (OM). Whereas conventional diagnostic modalities for OM, including standard and pneumatic otoscopy, are limited to visualizing the surface of ...

Transcanal Endoscopic Ear Surgery for Cholesteatoma: Royal Belgian Society of Otorhinolaryngology [PDF]
Objective: Surgery for cholesteatoma is traditionally based on microscopic approach. For several years, endoscopy developed from a combined approach as a complementary device to microscope to an exclusive transcanal approach in various fields of ear ...

Prognostic factors in otosurgery [PDF]
Background: The factors that predict the outcome of the disease are an important aspect in modern medicine. Their application in otosurgery is mandatory in the preoperative period in view of the patients’ expectations and the level of the quality of life

The effect of preserved stapedial superstructure on hearing improvement [PDF]
Introduction: Ossiculoplasty can be carried out in a number of ways, depending on the anatomical and functional conditions encountered during otosurgery and the experience of a given centre.

Do high‐frequency air‐bone gaps persist after ossiculoplasty?
Objectives Conventional reporting of postoperative hearing outcomes utilizes a pure‐tone averaged air‐bone gap (ABG) that is biased toward low frequencies. Consequently, a high‐frequency ABG after otologic surgery may go unnoticed.
