Autologous fitted incus versus Plastipore PORP in ossicular chain reconstruction. 1985

M Sanna, and R Gamoletti, and R Scandellari, and P Delogu, and M Magnani, and C Zini

Hearing results and causes of failure with three types of ossicular reconstruction techniques over an intact stapes, during second-stage intact canal wall tympanoplasty, are reported herein. The three types of reconstruction are: fitted autologous incus (38 cases); Plastipore PORP with cartilage (41 cases); Plastipore PORP without cartilage (32 cases). A residual air-bone gap within 15 dB. was found in 63.2 per cent of fitted includes, in 41.5 per cent of PORPs with cartilage, and in only 37 per cent of PORPs without cartilage. Eighty-four per cent fitted incudes, 63 per cent PORPs with cartilage and 44 per cent PORPs without cartilage yielded a residual air-bone gap within 25 dB. Extrusion has been the main cause of failure among Plastipore prostheses.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007188 Incus One of three ossicles of the middle ear. It conducts sound vibrations from the MALLEUS to the STAPES.
D011095 Polyethylenes Synthetic thermoplastics that are tough, flexible, inert, and resistant to chemicals and electrical current. They are often used as biocompatible materials for prostheses and implants. Ethylene Polymers,Ethene Homopolymers,Homopolymers, Ethene,Polymers, Ethylene
D011126 Polypropylenes Propylene or propene polymers. Thermoplastics that can be extruded into fibers, films or solid forms. They are used as a copolymer in plastics, especially polyethylene. The fibers are used for fabrics, filters and surgical sutures.

D002356 Cartilage A non-vascular form of connective tissue composed of CHONDROCYTES embedded in a matrix that includes CHONDROITIN SULFATE and various types of FIBRILLAR COLLAGEN. There are three major types: HYALINE CARTILAGE; FIBROCARTILAGE; and ELASTIC CARTILAGE. Cartilages
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.

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. (Dorland, 28th ed.) Tympanoplasties
D019736 Prostheses and Implants Artificial substitutes for body parts, and materials inserted into tissue for functional, cosmetic, or therapeutic purposes. Prostheses can be functional, as in the case of artificial arms and legs, or cosmetic, as in the case of an artificial eye. Implants, all surgically inserted or grafted into the body, tend to be used therapeutically. IMPLANTS, EXPERIMENTAL is available for those used experimentally.
