To evaluate the audiometric outcomes following endoscopic ossicular chain reconstruction (OCR). Retrospective case series. Two tertiary referral centers. Sixty two ears with ossicular discontinuity. Endoscopic and microscopic OCR in patients with ossicular discontinuity. Bone and air pure-tone averages (PTA), air-bone gap (ABG), and word recognition scores (WRS). Sixty two ears were included for analysis. Patients that underwent ossiculoplasty were subdivided based on prosthesis type (total ossicular replacement prosthesis [TORP] and partial ossicular replacement prosthesis [PORP], primary and staged ossiculoplasties, and surgical approach [microscopic and total endoscopic]). Forty two ears required PORP reconstructions, while 20 ears required TORP reconstructions. The microscope was used to reconstruct the ossicular chain in 31 cases, while an exclusive endoscopic approach was used in the remaining 31 patients. Controlling for the prosthesis, there were no significant postoperative differences in bone PTA, air PTA, and ABG between primary and staged ossiculoplasties, or surgical approach. Controlling for the type of prosthesis, there were no significant differences in hearing outcomes with respect to staged ossicular chain reconstruction or whether the endoscope or microscope was used for visualization. Thus, in this series, endoscopic OCR yields similar audiometric outcomes when compared with microscopic OCR.

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.

D004724 Endoscopy Procedures of applying ENDOSCOPES for disease diagnosis and treatment. Endoscopy involves passing an optical instrument through a small incision in the skin i.e., percutaneous; or through a natural orifice and along natural body pathways such as the digestive tract; and/or through an incision in the wall of a tubular structure or organ, i.e. transluminal, to examine or perform surgery on the interior parts of the body.

D006314 Hearing Loss, Conductive Hearing loss due to interference with the mechanical reception or amplification of sound to the COCHLEA. The interference is in the outer or middle ear involving the EAR CANAL; TYMPANIC MEMBRANE; or EAR OSSICLES. Conductive Hearing Loss
