Minimally Invasive Intraoperative Laser Vibrometry (MIVIB)-A Peroperative Method to Measure Fixation of the Ossicular Chain. [PDF]
An 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

Ossiculoplasty: Revisited [PDF]
Conductive hearing loss from ossicular chain abnormalities may result from either discontinuity or fixation of the ossicular chain. The ideal prosthesis for ossicular reconstruction should be biocompatible, stable, safe, readily available, and capable of yielding optimal sound transmission. At present ossiculoplasty techniques using alloplast materials
