Hearing outcome between stapes graft assembly and stapes cartilage graft assembly in chronic otitis media active squamous disease
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Anatomy and Surgery of Head, Neck and Brain - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction The cholesteatoma is a sac lined by keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium in the middle ear cleft with continuous desquamated epithelium arranged like onion skin layers It is also known as the nonmalignant bone destroying disease of the middle ear cleft Our study aims to compare the hearing outcome in these active sqamosal cases after doing stapescartilagegraft assembly and stapesgraft assembly in patients undergoing reconstruction in canal wall down mastoidectomy with type III tympanoplastyMaterials and Method Total number of 50 patients with chronic otitis media active squamous disease who had undergone different types of ossicular chain reconstruction by type III tympnoplasty with canal wall down mastoidectomy between January 2017 and September 2017 were enrolled in the study Postoperative hearing gain were evaluated by pure tone audiometry at 6 months after surgeryResults In terms of airbone gap stapes cartilage graft assembly patients have more improvement in hearing than patients with stapes graft assembly We found 112 DB improvement with stapescartilagegraft assembly as compared to 576 DB in stapesgraft assemblyConclusion Canal wall down mastoidectomy with type III tympnoplasty stapescartilagegraft assembly technique have more hearing improvement than stapes graft assembly techniqueKeywords Chronic Otitis Media active squamosal type Mastoidectomy StapesCartilageGraft Assembly Stapes Graft Assembly
