Abstract :

Introduction: Ossiculoplasty is a surgical procedure to repair & reconstruct the middle ear ossicles. The goal of ossiculoplasty is to improve heå. Successful ossiculoplasty depends on several factors. This prospective study was carried out to analyze heå results of ossiculoplasty in such patients. Material & Methods: Patients more than 18years of age, diagnosed with inactive tubotympanic chronic otitis media with conductive heå loss who underwent ossiculoplasty were taken for study. Preoperative and post operative results and audiometry were analysed. Results: 20 ossiculoplasty results were analysed. All ossiculoplasties were carried out in onestage surgery and patients were examined on follow up. 80% patients showed heå improvement and 20% showed no improvement. Conclusion: The majority of the ossiculoplasties had satisfactorily improved heå status. Multivariate analysis should be performed to investigate prognostic factors of favourable long term heå outcomes after ossiculoplasty. Better knowledge of these predictive factors may contribute to the surgeon‘s judgment and the information given to patients
