Ossiculoplasty (OPL) aims to restore ossicular chain continuity to improve hearing in patients with conductive or mixed hearing loss, often performed during tympanoplasty. The current training methods, including cadaveric temporal bone models, face c...

Background and objectives: We review the intraoperative findings and postoperative outcomes of ossiculoplasty in subjects with second pharyngeal arch (SPA)-derived ossicular anomalies. We summarize potential intraoperative complications and recommend...

Background: The persistent stapedial artery (PSA) is a rare congenital vascular malformation involving the middle ear. It is usually associated with pulsatile tinnitus and/or conductive hearing loss and can account for multiple risks during middle ea...

Aural atresia and severe microtia are associated malformations that result in problems with hearing and cosmesis, associated speech and language difficulties and diminished self-esteem. In cases where middle ear ossiculoplasty and aural atresia canal...

Ossiculoplasty is a surgical operation performed to restore auditory transmission through the reconstruction of the ossicular chain using prosthetics. Tissue bioengineering has assumed a pivotal role in implementing alternatives to conventional ossic...

Polymers modified with bioactive nanoparticles are a promising solution for patients who need a tissue replacement. Modern implants, thanks to bioactive and bactericidal functions, facilitate the healing and regeneration process of the replaced tissu...
