examination of the tympanic cavity before being repositioned securely. Gel foam pieces are placed lateral to the tympanic membrane within the external ear canal. In this context, we prefer to position the gel foam pieces after applying a thin silastic cover on the lateral side of the graft and tympanic membrane rem­nant. This cover type offers two advantages. It facilitates the graft’s approach to the tympanic membrane remnant, especially when tympanic membrane recon­struction is performed simultaneously with ossiculoplasty and prevents the gel foam pieces from adhering to the tympanic membrane (graft). During the post­operative period, no bleeding or complications are observed during the aspira­tion of the gel foam pieces.
In the transcanal approach, only the graft donor area is sutured; in the retroau­ricular approach, the periosteum, muscle, subcutaneous tissue, and skin are closed with appropriate sutures.

Finally, a Merocell tampon is placed in the external ear canal to seal the surgi­cal area and secure the ap. Improper placement may disrupt contact with the remnant by pushing the graft medially. This may result in irregularities in the canal, compromise the nutrition and positioning of the ap, and potentially dis­place the prosthesis by exerting pressure on the reconstruction material/prosthe­sis. The base of the stapes may break as the prosthesis pushes the stapes, and the shaft may enter the saccule.

24.9 Ossiculoplasty Results

Numerous factors inuence the outcomes of ossiculoplasty. The most important factor is the preoperative status of the ossicular chain, that is, the nature, localiza­tion, and size of the defect. These factors, along with other positive and negative considerations, are listed in Table 24.10 [40]. The determinants of success and

failure are succinctly outlined in Table 24.11 [40]. Notably, indices such as the middle ear risk index [49] and ossiculoplasty outcome parameter staging [50] have been proposed to aid in the prediction of surgical success [51].

24.10 Complications

Complications are generally related to the perioperative condition of the ear, recon­struction technique, type of reconstruction material, and the skill and attention of the surgeon.
Facial Nerve Damage Facial paralysis is the most important complication of ear surgery. Nerve damage occurs most commonly around the second elbow of an oval window. To avert facial nerve paralysis, adherence to the following three fundamen­tal principles is imperative:
24 Ossiculoplasty
497
1. A comprehensive understanding of anatomy is imperative: Surgeons must pos­sess a thorough knowledge of anatomy and prociently identify and illustrate the surgical landmarks.
2. The precise dissection of the facial nerve is crucial, the facial nerve needs to be distinguished from pathological tissues, and the dehiscence of the Fallopian canal should be assessed. One should not hesitate to use nerve-monitoring meth­ods. When working close to the nerve, bone cooling should be employed through irrigation.
3. Experience is crucial: one should work under the supervision of a master’s sur­geon until sufcient experience is gained. During surgery, the fallopian canal can be approached at any time; however, the nerve may exhibit abnormal progress. Some surgeons prefer using diamond drill tips when working close to the nerve, generating more heat compared with cutting drill tips. In such cases, washing the bone with warm physiological serum is necessary. It is better to employ a cutting drill tip until it approaches very close to the nerve and then switch to a diamond drill bit if necessary. The drill should be operated at high speed without applying pressure on the bone tissue. Additionally, it is more suitable to drill parallel to the nerve trace. Generally, a drilling tip that is either large or slightly larger than the nerve’s diameter is used during the procedure.
To avoid this very important complication:
1. Surgical technique should be modied, if necessary, to take less risk. For exam­ple, endoscopy-assisted surgery should be used when necessary.
2. Attention should be paid to intraoperative ndings, anatomical relationships, and landmarks.
3. If possible, intra-operative nerve monitoring should be used.
4. The facial nerve should not be touched unless it is necessary.
5. It is necessary to work very carefully to avoid complications. It is benecial to comply with the general precautions and basic otological surgical principles stated above to refrain from nerve paralysis. If an ossicle fracture or dislocation occurs, its repair is performed as described above in the OCR surgical technique.
Perilymphatic Fistula This may develop secondary to stapes dislocation. It is important to recognize and close intraoperatively. It is usually sufcient to lay the fascia or perichondrium over the window opening in the labyrinth. It is useful to lay a thin silastic cover over the fascia or perichondrium until the surgery is completed, ensuring that the cover stays in place, remains undamaged, and does not stick to the bone chips. At the end of the surgery, the silastic dressing is removed prior to clo­sure. In the early postoperative period, patients should rest in bed with their heads elevated, and vestibular suppressants may be recommended.
Dural Damage When using a drill in a mastoidectomy, the bone layer above the dura may be accidentally opened. Occasionally, the dura may be exposed due to bone resorption. Therefore, it is not important to determine whether the dura is vis-

ible. If there is a defect in the dural plate but the dura is not traumatized, treatment is not required. Nonetheless, in cases where the dura is not punctured but is slightly traumatized by the drill, herniation may occur into the mastoidectomy cavity during the postoperative period. In such situations, the dura should be covered with a peri­chondrium cartilage layer.
Ossicular Chain Damage When working in the tympanic cavity or fossa incudis and epitympanum in the mastoid antrum, fractures or dislocations in the ossicles and sensorineural hearing loss, which are particularly related to high frequencies, may develop. When working close to the ossicles, they should not be touched while removing the pathological tissues. Care should be taken when checking the ossicu­lar chain mobility. When a prosthesis is used for ossicular chain reconstruction, fractures in the stapes superstructure, stapes dislocation, annular ligament damage, stapes base fracture, sensorineural hearing loss, total hearing loss, and vertigo may occur, depending on the length of the prosthesis or its placement using rough move­ments. The ossiculoplasty complications that may occur intraoperatively and post­operatively are summarized in Table24.12 [40].

24.11 Postoperative Care

Postoperative care varies depending on the surgery performed and the presence of complications. After surgery, sterile gauze is applied over the ear. On the rst day, the gauze is replaced due to dampness and blood leakage. Occasionally, a large amount of blood and serohemorrhagic uid may leak from the external ear canal. In such cases, the leakage from the Merocell can be aspirated using a sterile aspirator. Aspiration is deemed unnecessary if there is minimal leakage.
The incision line is wiped with polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine (Batticon®) and subse­quently re-covered with sterile gauze. This dressing is repeated once daily, as needed. In cases where an endaural or retroauricular approach is used, the stitches are removed in the rst week. The Merocell tampon placed in the external ear canal is removed in
24 Ossiculoplasty
499
the second week. Leaks and melted gel foam pieces in the outer ear canal are cleaned using a ne aspirator. This process is facilitated when a silastic cover is used.
Topical antibiotics are recommended if an infection occurred. Topical steroid drops are recommended if there is edema in the granulation tissue or canal skin. The dressings are applied at intervals until a dry external ear canal is achieved. During this period, care should be taken not to allow water to leak into the external ear canal. Postoperative prophylactic antibiotics are not required. Prophylactic measures against infection involve the administration of intravenous ceftriaxone at 1000mg in adult patients and 500mg in pediatric patients during anesthesia induction. Patients are advised to avoid contact with individuals with acute viral upper respiratory tract infections, particularly 2–3 weeks after surgery. An initial audiometric evaluation should be performed 6weeks after surgery. The evaluation is repeated over time.

24.12 Follow-Up

There are no specic follow-up protocols currently available. After early postopera­tive dressing and follow-up are completed, it is useful to follow patients in the rst month, third month, rst year, and once a year thereafter for at least 5years. The hearing gain achieved with ossiculoplasty decreases over time [5254]. If synthetic material is used in reconstruction, long-term follow-up should be performed, con­sidering the potential for expulsion. In cases where cartilage is utilized, monitoring should also consider the possibility of resorption [55, 56].

24.13 Conclusion

1. The success of surgical treatment is inversely proportional to the severity of the
existing disease and the extent of the resulting damage.
2. In particular, the presence of the stapes superstructure and malleus is critical for
ossiculoplasty results.
3. Successful results can be achieved by a careful and relatively experienced sur-
geon who schedules the surgery well, carefully examines the condition of the ossicular chain, complies with basic surgical principles, and chooses the recon­struction material correctly.
4. Postoperative hearing results are not satisfactory in ears with large ossicular
chain defects and poorly ventilated ears.
