[Clinical experience with silastic middle-ear prostheses].

M Zelený, Z Voldrich

    Ceskoslovenska Otolaryngologie
    |January 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Clinical tests show silastic middle ear prostheses (PORP, TORP, piston) are well-tolerated and effective. Over half of patients experienced auditory gain, leading to a recommendation for their manufacture.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Biomaterials Science

    Context:

    • Middle ear prostheses are used to restore hearing in patients with ossicular chain damage.
    • Silastic prostheses offer a biocompatible option for middle ear reconstruction.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the clinical efficacy and biocompatibility of silastic middle ear prostheses (PORP, TORP, piston).

    Summary:

    • Clinical trials involving 29 PORP, 26 TORP, and 21 piston prostheses demonstrated no tissue intolerance to Silastic MDX 44-516.
    • Satisfactory anatomical and functional outcomes were achieved, with significant auditory gain observed in over 50% of patients.
    • Specific auditory gains included 97% for PORP, 73% for TORP, and 52% for piston prostheses.

    Impact:

    • The successful clinical tests led to a recommendation for the manufacture of silastic middle ear prostheses by the Czech Socialist Republic's Ministry of Health.
    • These findings support the use of silastic materials in otologic surgery for hearing restoration.
