Ossicular coupling Ossicular coupling
S. Mansour et al.
In case of failure of topical treatment to treat CSOM, then systemic oral antibiotics should be used. The best option is ciprooxacin, but it should not be given to children below 12years. Erythromycin or Bactrim are alternatives in these cases. All systemic aminoglycosides should be avoided.
Generally speaking, the topical ear drops should be continued for 6 weeks, while systemic antibiotics should not be used for more than 2 weeks. Systemic corticotherapy for a few days, followed by tapering doses for another few days, enhances the therapeutic control of the active inammatory process.
5.13.2 Surgery forCSOM
All surgical procedures must be done in respect of basic principles of ME mechanics in relation to the mechanisms of acoustic sound gain [3, 11].
Middle ear mechanics: Sound is transmitted from external auditory canal (EAC) to the cochlea by three mechanisms:
2. Acoustic coupling: Difference of sound pres- sure on the oval and round window because they are not in the same anatomic localization. Acoustic coupling role is minor in the normal ear with intact TM and ossicles. The acoustic coupling can explain why patients with nor­mal TM and ossicular discontinuity will have more signicant HL (60dB) than those with ossicular discontinuity with perforated TM (40–50 dB), as TM will restrict sound pres­sure difference transmission to oval and round windows (Figs5.11, 5.12, and 5.13) [3].
Another consideration in middle ear mechanics is Phase difference; a sound stimu­lus to the inner ear is detected as a net
Cochlea
1. Ossicular coupling: it is the transmission of sound pressure from the TM to the oval win­dow through the ossicular chains. Due to the air–uid interface, the sound will be reected, causing a 30-dB sound loss, but the coupling effect will overcome this loss by three mecha­nisms [11]: (a) The hydraulic lever effect: due to the Area
Ratio 21:1. It is the compression of sound energy and increase of force on the oval window due to the difference of surface area between the TM and the oval win­dow leading to an increase in gain of 26dB.
(b) Malleoincudal lever effect: results from
the difference in length between the manubrium of malleus and the long pro­cess of incus (ratio of 1.3:1). Gain of 2dB.
(c) Catenary lever effect: results from stretch-
ing of the TM from the annulus to the manubrium of malleus. Gain of 2dB.

difference in sound pressures between the round and oval windows. This difference is lost if tympano-ossicular mechanisms are absent (as in tympanoplasty types IV and V); in this situation, an unshielded round window will have negative acoustic consequences.
3. Middle ear aeration is another essential fac- tor in sound transmission. It contributes to a normal stapes-cochlear impedance and plays an important role in normal ossicular cou­pling. The minimum amount of air required to maintain ossicular coupling within 10 dB of normal hearing has been estimated to be
0.5ml [3].
Consideration in pediatric patients: It is
preferable to avoid tympanoplasty in pediatric patients below 5 years, and delay it till he or she is 6–9years old, as there are higher chances of failure due to recurrent otitis media and poor ET dysfunction. Adenoidectomy with or without tonsillectomy could be considered in obstructive cases. ET catheterization is considered. However, conrmed and sustained clinical results remain doubtful since the main issue is the mucosa disease.
Surgical ear reconstruction success may be
disappointing to some patients: the hearing ben­et after surgery depends not only on the magni­tude of the closure of the air-bone gap but also on the level of cochlear function of the operated ear, the hearing level of the contralateral ear, and the symmetry of hearing levels between the two ears.
5.13.2.1 Surgical Techniques inTympanoplasty (Middle Ear Reconstruction)
The purpose is to reconstruct the TM, reconstruct the ossicular chain (mechanics), and ensure an adequate middle ear aeration.
Tympanic Membrane Repair (Myringoplasty)
Surgical approaches: The choice of myringo­plasty depends on the perforation size, the anat­omy of EAC, and the surgeon’s preference. The main three approaches are:
1. Transcanal: least invasive, used for small per-
foration or medium-sized perforation, but the whole perforation, especially the anterior rim, should be accessible and the EAC anatomy is favorable.
2. Endaural: It is most useful if limited atticot-
omy is performed with tympanoplasty.
3. Postauricular: offers better visualization of the
anterior rim of the TM.
Canaloplasty can be used when there is bulg­ing of anterior wall of the EAC, narrow EAC, or anterior perforation.
Graft selection: See Table 5.1 for different graft materials in tympanoplasty (Fig.5.14):
Graft Placement
1. Underlay: Graft put underneath or medial to
the perforation.

2. Overlay technique: Graft put lateral to the brous layer of the TM.However, it should be medial to the manubrium to prevent lateraliza­tion of the graft. Complete and total removal of the squamous epithelium from the lateral surface of the TM must be insured to avoid iatrogenic cholesteatoma.
The success of any technique depends on the
surgeon’s expertise rather than on the technique itself.
The advantages and disadvantages of each
technique are summarized in Table5.2.
TM Repair Outcome
The success rate of myringoplasty is 90%. Myringoplasty failure can be due to:
1. Reperforation: early reperforation is caused by a faulty technique like inappropriate approach selection, small graft, and inappro-
ing the good vascularization of the graft. The major advantage of cartilage graft is that it retains its rigid qual­ity and resists to reperforation or retraction [3]
Table 5.2 The advantages and disadvantages of each
technique (underlay/overlay)
Overlay Underlay
Advantages • Excellent
exposure
• High graft uptake
• Applicable to all cases
Disadvantages • Requires
precision
• Longer healing time
• Blunting, Pearls
• Less lateralization
• Simpler technique
• Poor visualization
• Difcult with small EAC
priate placement of the graft, allowing it to fall into the middle ear space. Late reperfora­tion is often due to infection, graft atrophy, and ET dysfunction.
2. Graft lateralization: happens more in the over­lay technique. It can lead to insufcient sound conduction.

3. Atelectasis: ET dysfunction is the leading cause. Other causes are thin graft, not rein­forcing the graft by other materials like carti­lage, or not ventilating the ear in the primary surgery.
4. Postoperative myringitis: it is a granular reac­tion of the lateral surface of the TM graft. The patient will complain of slight pain, ear full­ness, or otorrhea. It can be an autoimmune response, reaction to the packing materials, or postoperative infection. Treatment options are topical antibiotics, debridement, or silver nitrate cautery. Tympanoplasty can be consid­ered if these options failed.
Ossicular Chain Reconstruction (Ossiculoplasty)
It can be achieved by an allograft (bone or carti­lage) or by a synthetic prosthesis. Generally, the prosthesis is divided into:
• Partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP), which is used in cases of absent incus but stapes is present, and
• Total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP), which is used in cases of absent incus and stapes superstructure.
Biomechanics ofOssiculoplasty
There are number of factors to be considered in reconstructing the middle ear ossicles:
1. Biological factors: which include: (a) Biocompatibility of the prosthesis: a bio-
compatible prosthesis is an inert one that remains stable in a biologic environment without inducing foreign body reaction. Titanium and hydroxyapatite are the most widely used and the most successful implants nowadays, as they have excellent mechanical properties, low extrusion rates, and good hearing results. Titanium pros­thesis is more user-friendly. An interface cartilage graft should be used between the prosthesis and TM to minimize extrusion.
(b) Middle ear environment: Fibrotic middle
ear mucosa and denuded mucosa during
surgery are detrimental to hearing results compared with that of normal middle ear mucosa. The presence of a stapes super­structure is crucial for a favorable hearing result. The presence of malleus is theo­retically important for a favorable hearing outcome as well: the malleus is thought to provide better hearing results if incorpo­rated in the reconstruction by preserving the catenary lever.
(c) Healing process which varies with per-
sonal immunity conditions.
2. Mechanical factors: The primary goal of ossicular reconstruction is to reach a maxi­mum of coupling the stapes footplate to the TM in order to re-establish the hydraulic lever effect. (a) Prosthesis Axis: the angle between the
stapes and a prosthesis should be less than 45° for optimal sound transmis­sion [12].
(b) Tension: A prosthesis that is too long
would stiffen the ME tympano-ossicular system resulting in a reduction of motion and an impaired closure of the air-bone gap [13].
(c) Coupling: Coupling refers to how well
prosthesis adheres to the footplate or TM, and the degree of coupling will determine whether or not there is slippage at the end of the prosthesis. Tilting and/or disloca­tion of the prosthesis are the major causes of poor postoperative hearing results. Apart from biological reasons, prosthesis displacement is the most common cause of the postoperative unsatisfactory hear­ing results.
Strategies andTechniques inOssiculoplasty
In cases where the malleus handle is much medi­alized, resection of the tensor tympani ligament is accomplished to free and positioner the manu­brium adequately for better reconstruction. The malleus must be preserved for better stability [3]. Look at Fig. 5.15 for ossiculoplasty strategies and Figs. 5.16, 5.17, 5.18, and 5.19 for further demonstration.

The Outcome ofOssiculoplasty
Postoperative hearing outcomes are considered suc­cessful if the postoperative air-bone gap is within 20dB.Ossiculoplasty may fail for one of three fun­damental reasons: a problem with the prosthesis, postoperative adhesions, and recurrent disease.
When only myringoplasty is needed,
80–90% of patients will have an air-bone gap of 20dB or less. When ossicular reconstruction is necessary, long-term closure of the air-bone gap to less than 20dB is achieved in 80% of cases in cases where the stapes is intact, and only in about 65% of cases where the stapes superstructure is missing [14].

Critical to the success of the CSOM surgery is the ability of the ME to maintain adequate aera­tion to ensure good ME mechanics.

Complications ofMiddle Ear Reconstruction
1. Infection.
2. Postauricular incisional site hematomas.
3. Taste disturbance.
4. Ear numbness of the pinna and lobule.
5. CHL due to lateralization of the graft and fail­ure of middle ear spaces aeration (40dB loss secondary to ME dysventilation and granula­tion formations.).
6. SNHL, which is a serious complication, can occur due to excessive manipulation of the ossicular chain.
7. Vertigo (rule out stula).
Complications ofMastoidectomy or Tympano-Mastoidectomy
When mastoidectomy is indicated, according to imaging inputs and surgical strategy review, this surgery may leave, in addition to the above-cited complications, a cerebrospinal uid (CSF) leak if the dura is violated during the dissection. Moreover, meningoencephaloceles can occur secondary to a large tegmen defect.
CT imaging provides information about the
status of the prosthesis and eventual displace­ment (Fig.5.20).

5.14 Some Unusual Clinical Presentations ofCSOM
Tuberculous Otitis Media: The typical feature of the disease is profuse, painless otorrhea not responding to topical and systemic antimicrobial therapies in combined with aural toilet. Examination shows multiple TM perforations and pale exuberant granulations. Complications like facial palsy and SNHL are signicantly higher than CSOM without cholesteatoma.
Immunodeciency: The idiopathic hypogam­maglobulinemia is characterized by a deciency in the IgG fraction of serum globulin, which often presents with otitis media at an early age. Chronic ear disease is sometimes observed in Job’s syndrome (lazy leucocyte syndrome).
Wegener’s Granulomatosis: Middle ear infection, either as a primary or secondary involvement of the disease, has been described.
Histiocytosis X (Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis): Histiocytosis X involvement of
the middle ear is rare and manifests as recurrent otitis with aural polyps.
Take-Home Messages
• In most cases, chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is the result of an initial episode of acute otitis media, and this is why it is of high importance to give AOM the proper care and follow-up in children of 2–3 years old to prevent hearing loss; health workers should ask for all procedures visualizing the ear­drum be standardized and validated.
• Clinical evaluation must distinguish between CSOM from other forms of chronic otitis media.
• Imaging is a helpful tool in unrespon­sive cases to a medical treatment enabling the extent of inammatory dis­ease in the middle ear cleft so as to dif­ferentiate safe from unsafe ear.
• Despite the decrease of morbidity of CSOM, it remains a real burden and resid­ual hearing loss, especially in countries with a lack of public health regimen.

6.1 Introduction
Cholesteatoma is an abnormal growth of thekera­tinizing squamous epithelium in the middle ear. It could be congenital or acquired. Cholesteatoma is a destructive and expanding lesion that may lead to fatal complications if left untreated.
6.2 Epidemiology
Its annual incidence is 9.2/100,000 in adults and 0.3/100,000in children with male predomi­nance [1].
It is higher in Caucasian and rare in African. It peaks in the second and third decades [2]. The mean age for congenital cholesteatoma is 6 years.

6.3 Types ofCholesteatoma
6.3.1 Congenital Cholesteatoma
It is more common in males (3:1). Its location is more common in the superior anterior part of the middle ear facing the Eustachian tube opening (2/3 of the cases). The second most common is the superior posterior part near the incudostape­dial joint (Fig.6.1).

Levenson criteriafor the diagnosis ofcongen­ital cholesteatoma are as follows:
(a) White mass behind anintact tympanic mem-
brane (TM). (b) No prior history of otorrhea. (c) No prior history of TM perforation. (d) No prior history of otologic procedures.
Prior history of otitis media does not rule out
congenital cholesteatoma.
6.3.2 Acquired Cholesteatoma
Acquired cholesteatomahas two types:
S. Mansour et al.
Primary acquired: It is the most frequent type
and arises from the progression of tympanic membrane retraction pocket. It can be a retrac­tion from the pars accida (more common in adults), from pars tensa (more common in children), or combined (Figs.6.2 and 6.3).
Secondary acquired: It arises from the migra-
tion of epithelial  membrane through a marginal perforation of the TM, or due to trapped skin through micro-perforation sec­ondary to trauma or surgery.

lesteatoma. (Adapted from Mansour S., Magnan J., Nicolas K., and Haider H. (2018). Middle ear disease)
6.4 Histopathology ofCholesteatoma
Light microscopy shows a cyst with three components:
1. Amorphous center composed of squamous
keratin debris.
2. Matrix, a stimulated proliferative skin
(Keratinizing squamous epithelium).
3. Perimatrix which is granulation tissues and
inammatory cells. It is the site of the inam­matory process.

Mansour S., Magnan J., Nicolas K., and Haider H. (2018). Middle ear disease)
1. Epidermal rest theory: cell rests of non-
keratinizing squamous epithelium localized near Eustachian tube ostium, having the potential to become a cholesteatoma.
6 Cholesteatoma

79
2. Inclusion theory: migration of cells origi­natimgfrom the external auditory canalskinto the middle ear secondary to non-evident injury to the TM [3].
6.5.2 Theories forAcquired
Cholesteatoma
1. Invagination theory: the precursors of choles­teatoma are retraction pockets secondary to dysventilation syndrome of the middle ear compartments. Two histological features present in cholesteatoma but not found in retraction pockets: epithelial hyperplasia and skin migration.
2. Migration theory: squamous epithelium of the TM or the ear canalskinmigrates through the perforated eardrum into the middle ear.
3. Squamous metaplasia theory: this theory stip­ulated that under chronic inammation, mid­dle ear mucosa changes into a squamous epithelium. Butthis theory lackshistological or experimental proof, so such ahypothesis is not accepted anymore.
4. Basal cell hyperplasia (Papillary) theory: a keratin-lled microcysts or buds arise from the basal layer of accida epithelium that invade the subepithelial tissue and fuse togetherto form acholesteatoma [4].
Recent advances in the pathogenesis of choles­teatoma postulate that the cholesteatoma is a result of the defective healing process, in which the nor­mal maturation end-stage of the wound- healing process will not be achieved (non-stop wound heal­ing process). Moreover, the pathogenesis of this condition does not rely only on the middle ear pathological conditions but also on the immuno­logical status of the bottom of the skin ear canal [5].
6.6 Molecular Biology
ofCholesteatoma
1. Histochemical studies found quantitative and
qualitative modications of Langerhans’ cells; these cells emit long dendritic expan­sions, which create a true network between
the neighboring cells: keratinocytes and lym­phocytes. This close contact between these cells is essential for the immune reaction pro­duction [6].
2. There are paracrine and autocrine interac- tions between keratinocytes of the matrix and broblasts of the perimatrix that regulate homeostasis and tissue regeneration within a cholesteatoma [4].
3. The fundamental difference between the heal­ing process in a normal skin and in cholestea­toma is that in cholesteatoma, there is a loss of the growth inhibition by “cell to cell contact”. Two factors are involved in that:
(a) The cholesteatoma develops beyond its
normal anatomical site for a “skin”.
(b) The inammatory process produces a
self-maintained immunological cycle, which enhances the epithelial growth.
4. The loss of balance between apoptotic and antiapoptotic markers, the increased anti­apoptotic activity in cholesteatoma favors its continuing expansion [6, 7].
5. The presence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial Biolms in cholesteatomas may also explain their aggressiveness [8].
6.7 Cholesteatoma Origin
andGrowth Pathways [
Posterior epitympanic cholesteatoma: It is the most common pattern of spread for cholestea­toma originating from Prussak’s space. The cho­lesteatoma spreads into the superior incudal space lateral to the body of the incus, and from there, it can potentially enter the mastoid through theaditus ad antrum (Fig.6.4).
Mesotympanic cholesteatoma: the second most common type is mesotympanic cholestea­toma whichspreads through the posterior pouch of von Troeltsch, following the embryological course of both saccus posticus and saccus supe­rior. It grows medially along the lenticular pro­cess and stapes superstructure. Then it may grow upward through the posterior tympanic isthmus
