Radiological Control of the Floating Mass Transducer Attached to the Round Window
The surgical rehabilitation of mixed hearing losses can be performed by coupling the floating mass transducer of the Vibrant Soundbridge to the round window. The quality of coupling the floating mass transducer to the round window is crucial for the audiological outcome. It was the aim of this study to further observe the different patterns of floating mass transducer position at the round wind...
متن کاملComparison of Titanium vs. Polycel Total Ossicular Replacement Prosthesis
Introduction: Even though modern technology progresses so rapidly, annals of otology are replete with so many challenging article, which often compare various types of prosthesis. Since there has not been a prospective randomized clinical trial study which compares the hearing result of total ossicular replacement prosthesis made of Titanium with omega connector and Polycel in the literature, w...
متن کاملEvaluation of round window stimulation using the floating mass transducer by intracochlear sound pressure measurements in human temporal bones.
HYPOTHESIS Round window (RW) stimulation with a floating mass transducer (FMT) can be studied experimentally and optimized to enhance auditory transduction. BACKGROUND The FMT (MED-EL Vibrant Soundbridge) has been recently implanted in patients with refractory conductive or mixed hearing loss to stimulate the RW with varying degrees of success. The mechanics of RW stimulation with the FMT hav...
متن کاملThe use of total ossicular replacement prosthesis after radical tympanomastoidectomy.
BACKGROUND/AIM This paper presents our operative method for hearing recovery after the previous radical tympanomasto-idectomy, radical trepanation of the temporal bone (trepanatio radicalis ossis temporalis--TROT) in eight patients submitted to operations for giant cholesteatotoma. METHODS All the patients were admitted to our clinic after TROT. There were no signs of cholesteatoma or infecti...
متن کاملPediatric ossiculoplasty with titanium total ossicular replacement prosthesis.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To assess the medium-term efficacy of total ossicular reconstruction with a titanium total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) in children. STUDY DESIGN Case series. METHODS A consecutive series of children receiving an adjustable-length titanium TORP was identified from a prospective surgical and audiological database. Audiometric testing was obtained preoperative...
