    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Hearing Restoration

    Background:

    • Accurate incus positioning is crucial for successful ossicular chain reconstruction.
    • Traditional methods may lack precise tactile and visual feedback during stapes head manipulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a new surgical technique involving an "incus window" for improved incus positioning.
    • To assess hearing outcomes, specifically air-bone gap closure, after incus transposition surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • A surgical technique was employed, creating an "incus window" through the incus body.
    • This window provided surgeons with visual and tactile reference points to the stapes head.
    • Hearing levels were assessed one year post-operation.

    Main Results:

    • 182 out of 201 patients achieved successful closure of the air-bone gap.
    • The air-bone gap was closed to within 20 dB of the preoperative bone level in the successful cases.
    • The "incus window" facilitated precise incus placement.

    Conclusions:

    • The "incus window" technique is an effective method for aiding incus positioning in transposition surgery.
    • This approach significantly improves hearing outcomes by closing the air-bone gap.
