To assess endoscopic and microscopic ossiculoplasty audiometric outcomes. Retrospective review. Tertiary academic center. Adult patients who underwent ossiculoplasty with either partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP) or total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) from 2010 to 2019 with at least 1 year of audiometric follow-up were included. Endoscopic or microscopic ossiculoplasty. Postoperative air-bone gap (ABG) after at least 1 year. A total of 198 patients, 53.5% female, and a median age of 47.5 years, met inclusion criteria. 64.1% of patients were reconstructed with a PORP, and 31.8% were reconstructed using an endoscopic approach. The median audiometric follow-up was 27 months. The median postoperative ABG was 16.9 dB overall, 15.6 dB for PORP reconstruction, and 19.4 dB for TORP reconstruction (PORP versus TORP, p = 0.002). For TORP reconstructions, the median ABG for both endoscopic and microscopic TORP was 19.4 dB ( p = 0.92). For PORP reconstructions, the median ABG for endoscopic PORP was 12.3 dB compared with 16.3 dB for microscopic PORP ( p = 0.02). Using multivariate linear regression to predict postoperative PORP ABG, and controlling for age, prior ossiculoplasty, middle ear mucosal disease (granulation, fibrosis, polyposis), middle ear atelectasis, myringitis, contralateral middle ear disease, and use of byte prostheses, endoscopic PORP reconstruction was associated with improvement in ABG over the microscopic approach by 4.4 dB ( p = 0.04). For PORP ossiculoplasty procedures, endoscopic ossiculoplasty is associated with improved postoperative ABG compared with microscopic ossiculoplasty.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D001299 Audiometry The testing of the acuity of the sense of hearing to determine the thresholds of the lowest intensity levels at which an individual can hear a set of tones. The frequencies between 125 and 8000 Hz are used to test air conduction thresholds and the frequencies between 250 and 4000 Hz are used to test bone conduction thresholds. Audiometries
D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

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.
