Comparison of Long-Term Microscopic and Endoscopic Audiologic Results After Total Ossicular Replacement Prosthesis Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare short-term and long-term outcomes after transcanal endoscope-assisted with microscope-assisted ossiculoplasty using the Fisch titanium total prosthesis (FTTP).

Study design

Retrospective chart review.

Setting

Tertiary referral center.

Patients

Pediatric (<18 yr of age) and adult patients undergoing ossiculoplasty with the FTTP between January 2016 and December 2019.

Intervention

Transcanal endoscope-assisted (n = 30) or microscope-assisted (n = 76) ossiculoplasty with the FTTP. In the microscopic group, 48 were performed through the ear canal and 28 by retroauricular approach.

Main outcome measure

Short-term (3 mo) and long-term (average 20.2 mo) PTA 0.5-2kHz air and bone conduction thresholds were evaluated.
