Background: Chronic otitis media (COM) is defined as a perforation of the tympanic membrane with persistent drainage pus from middle ear lasting at least two weeks. Tympanoplasty surgical procedure in ENT practice which aims removal diseased pathology along reconstruction sound conducting mechanism by reconstructing ossicular chain various materials.

tympanic membrane is pulled up into the attic by traction caused by 1) epithelial migration and 2) the movement of a mucociliary blanket propelled by ciliary action. The proposal is logical and supported by some experimental evidence that there is evidence epithelial migration of the mucosal side of the pars tensa in an experimental animal. Fig. 1. The distribution of ciliated cells in the huma...

The presented article shows the current scientific concept including diagnostics and therapy of otosclerosis with an emphasis on surgical treatment options. The three main proposed causes for otosclerosis are viral and hormonal origin as well as a genetic predisposition. In 25 to 50% a familiar accumulation can be seen. Usually patients become aware of clinical problems by a progressive middle ...

It is also important to determine if the malleus is mobile by massaging the tympanic membrane under a Siebel otoscope and microscope. If the malleus is mobile, a normal stapedectomy can be performed, consisting of an incus to oval window prosthesis. This operation has a high rate of success (95%). If the malleus is fixed, however, it is necessary to create a malleus to oval window prosthesis. B...

MATERIAL AND METHODS 25 cases of stapes revision surgery out of the 385 total treated surgically otosclerosis cases are discussed. RESULTS In group A (patients after total stapedectomy) the following indications for the secondary surgi...

A method is described that allows, for the first time, intraoperative vibration modes assessment of the acoustically stimulated stapes by means of scanning laser Doppler interferometry (LDI). The study was designed to answer the following questions: 1) Is LDI practical for taking measurements during surgery? 2) Are the results comparable to the findings in temporal bone preparations? and 3) Do ...

This study was conducted to find out the frequency of ossicular chain pathology in cases of tubotympanic chronic suppurative otitis media.
