Multidirectional tomography in reconstructive middle ear surgery. 1975

H F Wilbrand, and L Ekvall

The tomographic demonstration of essential structural details before reconstructive middle ear surgery with osseous auto- and homografts is described, and the preoperative information requirements are briefly discussed. The tomographic appearance of the different types of reconstruction is presented. The halfaxial and true lateral projections are to be preferred, if necessary complemented by the axial-pyramidal projection. Tomography may disclose obvious morphologic causes of absence of postoperative hearing improvement or secondary hearing impairment.

D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D004429 Ear Ossicles A mobile chain of three small bones (INCUS; MALLEUS; STAPES) in the TYMPANIC CAVITY between the TYMPANIC MEMBRANE and the oval window on the wall of INNER EAR. Sound waves are converted to vibration by the tympanic membrane then transmitted via these ear ossicles to the inner ear.

D004432 Ear, Middle The space and structures directly internal to the TYMPANIC MEMBRANE and external to the inner ear (LABYRINTH). Its major components include the AUDITORY OSSICLES and the EUSTACHIAN TUBE that connects the cavity of middle ear (tympanic cavity) to the upper part of the throat.

D014433 Tympanoplasty Surgical reconstruction of the hearing mechanism of the middle ear, with restoration of the drum membrane to protect the round window from sound pressure, and establishment of ossicular continuity between the tympanic membrane and the oval window.
