Ossicular Reconstruction with Sheehy PORP

Objective To report tympanoplasty cases completed with Sheehy Partial Ossicular Replacement Prostheses (PORP). Methods Seventy eight (83 ears) of 89 cases who received Sheehy PORP for ossicular chain reconstructionwere reviewed. These cases were followed for more than 6 months (mean: 21.3 months). The pre-and post-operative average air conduction thresholds and Air-Bone Gap (ABG) at 0.5, 1 and 2 kHz were compared. Results All 83 ears showed uneventful healing at 1 month postoperatively. PORPs in 2 ears without cartilage reinforcement were found dislocated at 3 months. Preoperative hearing thresholds were from 35.75 to 68.5 dB HL (mean: 59.13±15.23 dB HL). Postoperative mean hearing threshold improved to 32.23±13.21 dB HL (P < 0.01). Mean air-bone gap (ABG) improved from 36.95±12.19 dB preoperatively to 21.71±12.05 dB after surgery (P < 0.01). In 68 ears (81.9%), postoperative ABGs were either ≤ 20 dB or improved by 15 dB or more compared to before surgery (defined as satisfactory). Conclusion PORP as a ossicular reconstruction material appears to provide satisfactory results. Attention should be paid to avoid of postoperative dislocation. Long-term outcomes remain to be assessed.

耳内镜下I型鼓室成形干湿耳手术疗效分析

摘要：目的探究耳内镜下I型鼓室成形术在干湿耳状态下手术的疗效差异。方法前瞻性纳入2017年7月~2017年9月于上海交通大学医学院附属第九人民医院耳鼻咽喉头颈外科收治的慢性化脓性中耳炎静止期患者,术前由2名耳内镜医师和1名临床医师独立判断鼓膜及鼓室黏膜情况,将45例患者分为干耳组和湿耳组。其中干耳患者29例,湿耳患者16例。I型鼓室成形术后3个月时的鼓膜愈合率和听力改善率。结果术后3个月时干耳患者中26例（89.6%）的患者鼓膜完全愈合,湿耳患者中14例（87.5%）鼓膜完全愈合,两组气骨导差均明显下降,干耳组气骨导差由术前（23.5±7.3）dB HL下降至（8.6±6.2）dB HL,湿耳组气骨导差由术前（25.1±7.6）dB HL下降至（10.5±8.0）dB HL。两组在鼓膜愈合率和听力改善率上差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05）。结论对于不伴有听骨链病变的静止期慢性化脓性中耳炎,术前湿耳状态并非手术禁忌证,其术后鼓膜愈合率以及听力改善率与干耳手术一致,且可以降低患者术前等待时间,减少抗生素使用和并发症发生,但这一结论仍需多中心、前瞻性队列研究进一步证实。

     

Closed tympanoplasty in cholesteatoma surgery: long-term (10 years) hearing results using cartilage ossiculoplasty

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term hearing results of using costal cartilage prostheses in ossicular chain reconstruction procedures in subjects operated on for a middle ear cholesteatoma with an intact canal wall tympanoplasty. Thirty-six patients (four with bilateral disease) followed up for 10 years who underwent an ossiculoplasty with a cartilage prostheses between January 1987 and December 1989 constituted the population studied. All the subjects underwent a staged intact canal wall tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy. Ossiculoplasty with total or partial chondroprosthesis was performed during the second stage. The long-term outcome was evaluated in terms of hearing according to the guidelines of the Committee on Hearing and Equilibrium (1995), and in terms of complications (anatomical and functional). In 18 patients a partial cartilage ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP) was used, while in 22 a total cartilage ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) was used. In the PORP group the mean preoperative air–bone gap (ABG) was 22.4 dB hearing level (HL); before the second stage the ABG was 37.9 dB HL, at 2 years it was 12.1 dB HL, at 5 years 15.3 dB HL and at 10 years 15.8 dB HL. In the TORP group the mean preoperative ABG was 31.6 dB HL; before the second stage the ABG was 41.1 dB HL, at 2 years it was 14.4 dB HL, at 5 years 17 dB HL and at 10 years 18.5 dB HL. In both groups the number of cases with a postoperative ABG of < 20 dB HL remained stable (P > 0.05) over time. The failure rate was 17.5%, but only in 5% of cases was a functional revision needed. No cases of extrusion of the prostheses were encountered. The use of a chondroprosthesis is associated with functional results similar to those obtained by other authors. The efficacy of the prostheses remains stable over time and is associated with a very low rate of complications and failures. In this series no extrusion occurred and in no case did an infectious disease develop after cartilage transplantation. Received: 7 August 2000 / Accepted: 2 November 2000     

Cartilage ossiculoplasty by lever method

CONCLUSION: We invented a new ossicular chain reconstruction by lever methods (OCRLM) in tympanoplasty type III with the canal wall down technique and investigated the postoperative hearing results of the 24 patients who had undergone this surgery. Postoperative air-bone gaps (ABGs) followed up for 2.1-3.2 years gave satisfactory improvement audiometrically compared with former reports. OBJECTIVE: To present newly devised methods applied from the viewpoint of mechanical dynamics for ossicular chain reconstruction in tympanoplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 24 cholesteatoma patients who underwent tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy using the canal wall down technique and ossicular chain reconstruction with OCRLM between May 2003 and April 2004 were investigated. The postoperative ABG of a four-frequency (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz) average of OCRLM followed up for 2 years or more was assessed. RESULTS: Patients who underwent OCRLM showed good postoperative hearing results. Average postoperative ABGs of less than 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 dB were 4.2, 37.5, 70.8, 91.6, and 100%, respectively. A gap of >30 dB was absent and the mean postoperative ABG was 17.2dB. The OCRLM method was satisfactory to improve hearing and effectively reduce the ABG postoperatively over the period of observation.

Tympanoplasty in pediatric patients

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical features and follow-up of a series of pediatric patients with chronic otitis media undergoing tymponaplasty surgery and to identify the effect of the factors on the course. METHODS: Forty-one children (mean age 15.1+/-2.62 years, range from 8 to 16 years) who had undergone tympanoplasty with or without ossicular reconstruction were evaluated. Age, gender, size and site of perforation, status of operated ear (dry/discharging), status of the contralateral ear, underlying cause of the perforations, surgical technique, preoperative and postoperative hearing levels, average postoperative follow-up time, and postoperative complications were recorded. RESULTS: Myringoplasty in 28 patients (68.3%), incus interposition in 7 patients (17.1%), partial ossicular replacement prostheses in 4 patients (9.7%) and total ossicular replacement prostheses in 2 patients (4.9%) were performed. In the 37 (90.2%) of patients, intact graft was determined during postoperative follow-up. Surgical success including intact graft and postoperative air-bone gap of less than 25 dB were obtained in 34 (82.9%) cases. CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggested that tympanoplasty was a quite successful method in the appropriate pediatric patients between the ages of 8 and 16 years. In the preoperative evaluation for surgery success, some factors, such as dry middle ear, healthy contralateral ear and concordant to postoperative care should be considered.     

Ossiculoplasty with intact stapes: analysis of hearing results according to the middle ear risk index

Conclusions. In ossiculoplasty with intact stapes, using autologous incus, cortex bone chips and plastipore partial ossicular reconstruction prostheses, improvement in hearing was nearly equal. In patients who had mild risk scores, the incus had better gain values compared with patients who had severe scores. Objective. We aimed to prove the utility of the middle ear risk index score and its predictive value in hearing outcome. We also evaluated hearing results for different reconstruction materials. Patients and methods. This was a retrospective chart review of 189 patients who had ossiculoplasty with intact stapes using autologous incus, cortex bone chips and plastipore partial ossicular reconstruction prostheses. Hearing outcomes and the average improvement in hearing with different reconstruction materials were analysed by using middle ear risk index scores. Results. The average hearing improvements for incus, cortex and partial ossicular reconstruction prostheses were 12.77±14.58 (p<0.001), 12.34±15.98 (p=0.005) and 14.10±13.87 dB (p<0.001), respectively. The postoperative air–bone gap levels were 20.42±14.54 dB in incus, 17.33±16.86 dB in cortex and 17.59±11.66 dB in partial ossicular reconstruction prostheses. When the preoperative middle ear risk index scores and postoperative air–bone gap and gain values were compared, in the incus group, statistically significant associations were demonstrated between scores and hearing outcomes (p=0.009).
