It is superior to the other techniques in-so-far as (a) there is no possibility of the SRP perforating into the inner ear leading to sensorineural deafness and (b) there is no chance of pressure necrosis of the incus since there is no jeopardy to the blood supply to the bone....

The tiny titanium connection between the middle and the side legs of the SH-coupler still allows to add a reflector on the bone (Figure 1). A larger reflector diameter was chosen at the RW and placed in the centre of the membrane. We thereby assume that the primary, mechanically ...
After a baseline measurement of RW displacement in the intact temporal bone, the incus was removed and a cement I-SRP (CIRP) formed between the mid-malleus handle and each of the three test footplate sites, in random order. RW displacement was again measured after placement of the CIRP at...

A new stapes replacement prosthesis (SRP), which we term Tabor, is described for use where indicated. The prosthesis has two parts: The lower part (or base) is made of a broad inorganic, biocompatible material (Teflon). This part fits and covers most of the footplate, ensuring maximal ...
When abnormal bone formation immobilizes the stapes (otosclerosis), the passage of sound does not correctly occur and hearing can be compromised. In most cases, surgery is an option for its treatment. The stapes is totally or partially replaced by a prosthesis (stapedectomy or ...
During explotympanotomy, the lateral half of the suprastructure of anomalous stapes was removed and sculptured total ossicular replacement prosthesis was fitted between the long process of incus and remained stapes. Postoperative pure tone audiogram showed a significant decrease in air-bone gap. We ...
Methods The study included patients treated with "stapes stabilizing cartilage graft" (SSCG) and Plastipore partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PPORP) for hearing reconstruction. Hearing results and complications were assessed and postoperative audiological tests were performed at least 6 months after...
